John,

I think we can and should get rid of OCTAVE_CONF_UGLY_DEFS.  The problem is
that there is a second usage of ${UGLY_DEFS} as a replacement for
OCTAVE_CONF_DEFS and octave_config_info ("DEFS") is used several times in
the code.  One example is

doc/interpreter/geometryimages.m:32:  if (isempty (findstr
(octave_config_info ("DEFS"), "HAVE_QHULL"))

So, eventually we need a permanent fix for this.
