Peter E. has been hacking the configure stuff since 7.0.  The behavior
is now more consistent with GNU/autoconf standard practice, but not 100%
backwards compatible.  I think that --without-CXX is now the default,
and you need to say --with-CXX [=compiler] if you want the C++ code
built.
        regards, tom lane
