configure CXX bug

configure seems to be having a problem with --without-CXX
When given, the C++ compiler is set to 'no'.

This was with CVS as of about 10:00 EDT

platform is linux i386 running Debian 'woody'.

--- commandline ---

./configure --enable-debug --enable-cassert --enable-depend --without-python --without-perl --without-CXX
