It's a linking discussion, and you would only need to link libmpicxx.so
(or whatever) if you actually used those bindings.  We certainly don't
do that and any other project that still uses them should be chastised.

BTW, PETSc defines the above macros for simplicity and to avoid the
unfortunate messes that used to plague the C++ implementations.
