If you mean that --cflags option would be ignored if you don't specify -c as
well, then it's fine with me.

However, if you mean that you can use --cflags without -c, and then this
override will be applied only for spells which will be cast, then you are
getting inconsistent behavior. When cast completes, you will have some spells
which would be installed with modified optimizations, and some which would
have
old optimizations, different from those specified by the user. I suppose that
when you use flag override, you want to override flags, don't you? So you want
to recompile the spell with modified optimizations. At least that's what I
would
expect from the command. When I say I want modified cflags for spells A, B and
C, I mean that I want those spells with modified cflags, no matter how they
were
compiled before. I definitely doesn't want those spells to remain with their
previous cflags, why specifying them on commandline otherwise?

Example:
What is command "cast --cflags <some_cflags> xpdf" supposed to mean? To
resurrect xpdf and ignore that I specified any cflags, or to cast xpdf with
<some_cflags> ? I would think it's the latter, as the former seems rather
strange.
