problems installing 0.9.0

[Rob Ross]

Is there any reason why we should require that someone define the CXX 
variable?  We don't use the C++ compiler for anything, right?  The 
modified configure.in that I sent to John takes out tests for that, and I 
think we should probably commit this unless there's some reason why we 
need to have the C++ stuff in place.
