Doh!  Yes, we do need to mention that in the NEWS.

The C++ bindings have actually been deleted from the MPI specification since 
3.0.  Disabling them by default is the first step to (eventual) removal from 
Open MPI.  Note: no date has been set for actual removal; that could be quite a 
ways in the future.

Enabling them by default in a downstream package seems fine to me.

Anyone have any opinions about this?
