Oh, yeah, thanks for that hint. Specifying CPPFLAGS on Solaris did the
trick.

However, CFLAGS_LUA is certainly inappropriate within m4/pcre.m4.

I've read the autoconf manual and figured, that all our
AC_PREPROC_IFELSE and AC_LANG_PROGRAM calls use C++, as we set
AC_LANG([C++]). Thus all CFLAGS are simply ignored. I've cleaned up that
mess (rev 2d842647..), we now have:

 PCRE_CPPFLAGS
 LUA_CPPFLAGS
 IDNA_CPPFLAGS
 SQLITE3_CPPFLAGS

 (and no more *_CFLAGS)

However, we do not currently respect BOTAN_CPPFLAGS or BOTAN_LIBS, it
seems. m4/botan.m4 simply overrides them. Specifying global CPPFLAGS
should work, though.

Yes, that's a good idea, IMO.
