You can either ask on users@ or if you package up something that you probably
want to maintain you can join maintainers@

These variables are for the „test“ phase on „make check“.
Try EXTRA_CONFIGURE_ENV :-)

The other variant is
  EXTRA_CONFIGURE_EXPORTS += CONFTYPE
  EXTRA_CONFIGURE_EXPORTS += XYMONUSER
  EXTRA_CONFIGURE_EXPORTS += XYMONTOPDIR
  EXTRA_CONFIGURE_EXPORTS += XYMONHOSTIP
  CONFIGURE_ENV_CONFTYPE = server
  …
But both methods are perfectly ok.


Best regards
