Maybe they want to make sure that you do not override any special compiler
flags that they require.

Set the environment variables *before* the configure command:
CFLAGS=-I/home/Eugene/inlcude LDFLAGS=-L/home/Eugene/lib ./configure ...

You need to be concerned about overriding the default CFLAGS. Because
libvorbis is a codec, you probably do not want to disable optimisations.
If they do not provide an --extra-cflags or something similar, another
way to achieve this would be:

CC='gcc -I/home/Eugene/include -L/home/Eugene/lib' ./configure ...
