we set CPPFLAGS as AM_CPPFLAGS in Makefiles, but the Makefiles override them.  So when
now using

$ make CPPFLAGS=XXX

on the command line, all CPPFLAGS set during configure are lost.

The solution is to save the CPPFLAGS passed to configure to a different variable, use
CPPFLAGS during configure, set AM_CPPFLAGS to CPPFLAGS set during configure at the end
of configure (but without the flags passed to configure), restore CPPFLAGS and use:

AM_CPPFLAGS += ...

in Makefiles.
