Subject: [bug#62551] Added new transformation option: --with-configure-flag
Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2023 01:22:41 +0530

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

This patch adds a new transformation option that lets the user specify a
package to add an extra #:configure-flags value to. Functionally, it is
quite similar to the --with-patch transform.
Currently, I've generated a list of build systems that do not support
#:configure-flags that this transform checks against, but this could be
improved by making the transform check if any given transform has the
#:configure-flags keyword in its arguments.
Please test this patch if possible; my preliminary testing indicates that
it is working, however it could fail for edge cases I have not considered.
CCing Ludovic as he might be interested in this.
