Ups - I should already know that ;)

You are fully right (of course). I was to fast with asking - but my  
level of confusion was so high - I couldn't see the forrest for all  
of those trees. I was so focused on finding those variables in the  
cache I just didn't try it out.

But there remains a question for me: Do I have any (smart)  
possibility to debug those flags, resp. debug variables which aren't  
set in the cache? The point is, these variables have to be registered  
in some Makefile (or something similar) after the configure process ...

Thank a lot for your really fast response - YMMD!
