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.
