[v3] GLIBCPP->GLIBCXX


It seems as if both Zack and I have long-standing issues with GLIBCPP.

It turns out that the GLIBCPP designation for libstdc++ was, in
retrospect, ill-advised. The reason is that in GCC land, CPP is
overloaded: it can mean either "C++" or "C preprocessor."

For clarity's sake, libstdc++ will move to CXX forms and let the C
preprocessor, in all its glorious forms, make use of CPP. In general,
libstdc++ will now favor XX instead of PP for ++.

For cpplib to move up a level, this is advisable. I'm trying to be a
good neighbor in gcc-landia.

Thus, the following huge patch which switches 

GLIBCPP to GLIBCXX
glibcpp to glibcxx

etc etc.

I'll hold off on this for a couple of hours, to see if there people freak out.
