Definitely don't use PACKAGECONFIG_CONFARGS: that has a well defined
meaning and use, and that isn't it.

I don't see why as you control the repository why can't you just set the
arguments in cmakelists, or the recipe itself?  Either they're useful
everywhere (cmakelists) or in OE builds (recipe).

Anyway, you could do something like this:

python() {
  d.appendVar("EXTRA_OECMAKE", " " +
open(d.expand("${S}/oe_arguments.txt")).read()
}
