But you are aware of the configure.gnu "trick"? See info Autoconf Subdirectories for the semantics. The trick is: you adjust the flags in subpkg/configure.gnu, then call subpkg/configure with them. The subpkg/configure.gnu file might actually belong to the toplevel package. A hack, but fairly easy. I like the idea of a more flexible AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS replacement, but the suggested API does not really look appropriate yet, with all the finer details of precious variables, (non-)shared config.cache handling and so on still needing sane and precise semantics.
