I did mention ENABLE_BUILD_WITH_CXX in previous email, but I am not very satisfied by
this solution.

I really think that GCC 4.7 should explicitly tell, e.g. thru gcc -v, how it was compiled
(ie in C or in C++ mode).

This would help a lot plugin package makers (not the same as plugin developers).

Cheers.
