Here are two patches to fix up the c++ (and c) support in the

configuration system.  The idea is to make the configure arguments
that specify compilers to be compatible with the other --with
options.  The main point, though, is that the c++ support is on by
default, but can easily be disabled by the --without-CXX option
for those few(?) that don't want it.
