Yes.  The new configure routines definitely create a g++.  The only
advantage I can think of is that it doesn't require you to have gcc 
on your system as well, since it duplicates the functionality.  g++.c is
actually a symbolic link to gcc.c.

Whether a good idea or not I already distributed it this way.  Now I'm 
just trying to figure out how to get things working again.  I must say I 
like not getting the 'linker file not used' warnings when using gxx -c.
