Options such as -I and -D are for the C preprocessor.

CFLAGS (for the C compiler) is used hardly anywhere in OpenVRML, since 
it is written in C++. CXXFLAGS (for the C++ compiler) would probably 
have worked (since none of the code in question invokes the C 
preprocessor outside the context of compiling C++); though CPPFLAGS is 
the one that is actually supposed to work.

I found time today to update the Fedora package; so updating OpenVRML 
via that route should work, too. (At least, it will once the new 
binaries propagate to the mirrors.)

I had hoped to have 0.16.4 out by now; however, openvrml-player still 
isn't quite robust enough for me feel it's release-worthy. There is a 
noteworthy fix to the library on the 0penVRML-0_16-BRANCH: loading JPEGs 
over the network should now work reliably. So if you're doing that, I'd 
suggest checking out CVS for the time being.
