From 87f7f728883ac9177418ee6e28fec911320a70ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: CONFIGURE: add and use append_var function

This allows replacing constructs like
  LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++"
by
  append_var LDFLAGS "-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++"
or even
  append_var LDFLAGS -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++
which improves readability and reduces "code duplication", and thus
reduces the risk of introducing certain bugs (e.g. like this one:
  LDFLAGS="$LDFLAG -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++"
