Per file compilation options are in direct conflict with make
invocator control, by way of it being a makefile writer knob.
Put differently: it's a feature for developers, not builders.
We already see the problem with that when we define CFLAGS on
the make command line, rather than in the environment. I'm
not opposed to per-file options, but it seems to push the
need to split make invocator knobs from makefile writer knobs.
Until we have such seperation, I request that per-file options
be made conditional so that make invocators still have control
without being powerless.
