Well, most of the time cppflags just are things like additional include
directories. And the established precedent is to just add those to the
global cppflags (c.f. libxml stuff in configure in).  I've no problem
changing this, I just followed established practice.

Not sure what you mean by that. NDEBUG and cassert are independent
mechanisms, no?
