Exactly the way I wrote above. If you don't want to execute a script
with the arguments, you could replace $srcdir/subdir/configure with,
say, set:
set x @module_configure_flags@
shift
but in your case you could just do
for arg in @module_configure_flags@
do
...
done

Why would you strip out CFLAGS* ?

This line is quoted wrongly, nested double-quotes within double-quoted
backticks are not portable. The Autoconf manual has all the details.
The portable variant of that is:
*\'*) arg=`$echo "$arg" | sed "s/'/'\\\\\\\\''/g"` ;;
(of course, assuming an $echo which doesn't interpret backslashes or
leading hyphens). Please don't try to be smarter than the code you're
copying from.

You don't need ';' before ';;', but I have no idea whether that is
unportable (several instances).
