To be clear, by that I mean characteristics that won't change from the 
system where Octave is built to the system where it is installed.

So I think something like HAVE_FAST_INT_OPS could be defined in 
octave-config.h because that is a characteristic of the type of machine 
for which Octave is compiled.

But HAVE_OPENGL shouldn't be because although the system where Octave is 
installed would need to have OpenGL for Octave to run properly, it may 
not have everything necessary to build software that requires OpenGL 
headers and libraries.
