site.exp updated to have right CXXFLAGS and CXX, but not at the FSF yet.


  To run the tests, first change to the gcc-2.7.1 directory, then type:

	runtest --tool g++ --srcdir ./testsuite

Here's a brief explanation.

runtest         - Is the name used to invoke DejaGnu.   If DejaGnu is not
		  install this will be the relative path name for runtest.

--tool          - This tells DejaGnu which tool you are testing. It is
                  mainly used to find the testsuite directories for a
                  particular tool when several testsuites are in the
                  same directory. (like the gcc and g++ testsuites)

--srcdir        - This points to the top level of the directory
                  containing the sources of the testsuite. This is
                  ./testsuite if you are in the directory that has the
                  testsuite directory.
