Nice. Just a quick errata. A few of the new lines in the help text were being truncated

One other change that I was hoping would come out of the discussions was an option to set the variable prefix so that it could be a user-defined value, even a blank character, so you could set compiler-specific values or even not have a prefix (and so use FC, AR, ...). So I could set INTEL_FFLAGS and GFORTRAN_FFLAGS and ... and switch to different sets of them just by setting FPM_PRE. No one liked that? It would give you a back door to use the default names and if you are using environment variables would let you have compiler-specific sets of them.

I had not considered the uses of this, but your example with different compilers is a compelling one. We can discuss it more in #576
