Details:

automake provides for a hierarchy of variables, with user specified variables
overriding those specified by the developer.

At times it may be necessary to amend the values specified by the user; this
macro does this using an approach set forth on the automake mailing list:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2005-09/msg00108.html

which moves values specified at _configure_ time into automake's base set of
variables, allowing them to be manipulated.
