Hello everybody,

after some discussion we've decided to disable the C++ bindings during the
1.12 development cycle. The reason for this step is frequent breakages of
the bindings because of changes and new features in Eolian.

The plan is thus to disable them for the time being (developers and testers
can still re-enable them using the appropriate configure flag) and enable
by default for actual 1.12 release (as Eolian should hopefully be stable by
that point).

For regular EFL users, the generated bindings as they are now are unusable.
They still need a whole lot more work and that can still be done even if
they're disabled by default. The only purpose of this step is to simplify
development for everyone else (who doesn't use C++) - including me (as I
maintain the Eolian library and have to frequently update the C++ generator
just to make it not break) and Tom (as he's working on the new EFL
interfaces and Eolian_Cxx would very possibly become a source of frequent
breakages as new Eolian features come into more use).

Unless any serious and well reasoned objections are made, I'll disable them
within the next few days.
