Log:
  AC_PROG_CXX doesn't actually check whether what it finds is a real live
  C++ compiler (it might not be one on, for example, OS X, due to "cc"
  being a C compiler, "CC" referring to "cc" due to the case-insensitivity
  of the default OS X file system, and "CC" being one of the names checked
  for in AC_PROG_CXX), so if we really need a C++ compiler, test it with a
  program that a C compiler won't compile.

Presumably this change can/should be pushed upstream to the autoconf folks?
