Like luaconf.h, the makefiles are supposed to be edited and customized.
Adding modifications on the commnad line is not permament and may generate
broken builds. Moreover, the "+=" construct is not supported by plain make.
(We try to use the simplest makefiles so that they can be run by any
flavor of make, not just gnu make.)
