Since our configure doesn't define CXX, I'm having a hard time imagining
how it could fail to break it.

If we *did* define CXX, it would presumably point to g++, which would
also break things since our source code is not C++ clean.

Even more to the point, Darwin isn't broken now --- at least it works
fine on the powerbook I'm typing this on, and on the several OSX
machines in the buildfarm.

I would like to know what this patch is alleged to fix before even
considering applying it.
