1) I'm not familiar with this package, but why are things like CFLAGS
being set in source patches to Makefile.am and Makefile.in rather than
as options passed to configure, which would be more self-documenting?
2) again going to the self-documenting question, why is the upstream URL
provided directly in the manifest but not at all in the Makefile?
