Sure it can support multiple flags. If I do:

./configure --with-optim="-O2 -O2"

It will work...

Hmmm... it wasn't working for me -- something was stripping the
double-quotes off the comand-line arguments, such that the
command-line could not be reconstructed faithfully, and thus
config.nice was getting invalid arguments.  I tried to fix that
in the macro that created config.nice, but the quotes were
being stripped earlier somewhere (I assume the option reader).

This may have been a problem in the httpd configure only, but
consensus on the list was that we should be using OPTIM anyway.
