Another way is to define a new variable "HDF5INCLUDES" and export for

Yes, but the AC_CHECK_HEADERS program doesn't compile with it, and
that's done by configure, not a makefile.
What I do for my own application is to build up CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS,
etc., for configure's benefit, but then export much of this data
explictly for use in the Makefile depending on how the software is
actually built. For example, when building loadable modules, only
certain modules need particular flags and libraries. There is a
"common" part and a "difference" part.
The value of CPPFLAGS that configure saves is whatever it ends up
being at the end of the configure run (at the time config.status is
output) so you can overwrite it with whatever abbreviated version you
like.
