The whole reason for using "which" was to be more portable. The
autoconf macros you mention are broken or at least not usable for
checking for a C++ compiler (or I'm too stupid, then they are just to
hard to use).

As Nick said, if it is such an issue and you know it that better, we
would be happy about a sane patch to improve things.
