Summary: configure should attempt to find a default C++ compiler.

Details: It's annoying that C++ isn't better supported by default. Currently, you must specify the C++ compiler with the --with-gxx=... flag.

The configure script could easily set CXX to g++ if that exists and if we are using GCC, for example.

(But why does using the --with-gxx flag automatically create a main program compiled with C++?)

Martin, do you happen to be a C++ user?  Maybe you have an idea what to do with this?  If not, assign it back to me or to Nobody.
