This patch was proposed in expectation of adding yet more flags.  I really 
don't care whether or not you agree with me on this one: I don't like it.

As I mentioned in an email to Shaun, entangling the configure for the build 
environment specification with the feature list for busybox is something I've 
thought about undoing already.  For example, the Linux kernel uses 
CROSS_COMPILE and CFLAGS supplied from the command line (either as 
environment variables or make arguments).  Why is that a bad model?
