Yep. In fact, so is libtool. And what we're missing is a feature in
autoconf :-(
I wish all of AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX, etc, would have variants or
extra arguments that would cause them to be non-fatal in case a
compiler isn't found. The multi-language libtool, for example, has
optional support for C++ and GCJ. The trick we used was to run:
pushdef([AC_MSG_ERROR], [CXX=no])
AC_PROG_CXX
popdef([AC_MSG_ERROR])
AM_CONDITIONAL(HAVE_CXX, [test "x$CXX" != xno])
But this is gross.
