I suppose I want to be able to specify an initial value for
CMAINTAINERFLAGS:

   configure CMAINTAINERFLAGS=--something-special

Then our code builds with --something-special, in addition to whatever
configure chooses to add, while the generated code builds without my
extra flag.

I wouldn't hold up your branch for this, trunk doesn't support it
either.
