Hi,

However, a notorious C++ compiler from Redmond is inferior also in its
C++ mode and would benefit from an AM_PROG_CXX_C_O variant. If the
meat of AM_PROG_CC_C_O becomes part of AC_PROG_CC if would be nice
if $CXX could be edited to wrap an inferior C++ compiler in AC_PROG_CXX.
I.e. in similar fashion to how $CC would be edited in AC_PROG_CC.

Cheers,
Peter
