Why, precisely, are we telling Dejagnu to look in all the old, dead C++
directories?

Currently running a full bootstrap and 'make -k check' on i686-pc-linux-gnu.
If it works, may I put this in?

	* Makefile.in: Remove pointless setting of CXXFLAGS for dejagnu
	which refers to obsolete directories.

If you look closer (running the test-suite), you'll notice that
this code has no effect at all whatsoever.  (Try some invalid
options!)  It should be taken out instead.

I'd love to. :-)

I haven't figured out what's going on in that code however. I'd like to be able to prove that it's really doing nothing before deleting it. I guess I don't understand the interaction of the various different programs (expect, dejagnu, sh) well enough... can you help me?
