On systems that support linking, they're the same file. On Win32, they're
copies. Until recently, the program would include the different libraries
depending on what name it was called with (g++ or c++), much like what
gzip and gunzip do.

with egcs, there is *no* difference between c++ and g++. Those who want to 
use libg++, should now use:
    
    % c++ -o blah.exe blah.o -lg++
