The configury machinery to default --enable-__cxa_atexit to true on certain systems is now present.

I believe that the global destructors simply cannot be run in the correct order for sure without __cxa_atexit (someone can correct me if I'm wrong).
So we should not try to fix it in those circumstances.

We should, however, default it to true on a lot more systems than we currently do, or provide a configure test. :-P
In other words, I disagree with Giovanni's assessment. :-)
