[PATCH v2] configure: better check for the C++ compiler

2017-03-08 Thread Yann E. MORIN
When a C++ compiler is not found, then AC_PROG_CXX will set CXX to 'false'. However, we test that we can find $CXX, and indeed false exists in the PATH, for virtually all systems we have a chance to be compiled on. So we conclude that we do have a C++ compiler, when this is clearly wrong.
