Just put dune-common/bin into your PATH, e. g.:
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/dune/modules/dune-common/bin

now mpi-config --cflags --disable-cxx gives you the flags needed to
compile ALUGrid.
There configure ALUGrid as follows:

./configure --prefix=/directory/to/install/ALUGrid/to \
 CXX=g++-3.4 CC=gcc-3.4 \ 
 CPPFLAGS="`mpi-config --cflags --disable-cxx`" \
 LDFLAGS="`mpi-config --libs --disable-cxx`"

The ` were missing and the specifying the mpicc command might be
misleading.

Yep you are right.
