You are welcome. It was pretty straight forward once I realized how the C++
compiler is communicated from configure to distutils. But the patch has not
been applied to Python's CVS yet; I don't know how the Python developers think
about it.

You mean in Boost.Build? I don't think so. My patches affect how you configure
Python itself and, by default, Python's main is now compiled and linked with
the C compiler. But AFAICT that does not change how you need to build C++
extension modules.
