-## Example With Environment Variables
-
-In many cases a user may want to use environment variables to alter the
-build process. They may want to specify their own compiler via `CC`,
-their own compiler flags via `CFLAGS`, or the installation directory via
-`DESTDIR` and `PREFIX`. These are made easy to configure via
-`env_or_default()`.
