[PATCH] Red Hat 8.0 and Mozilla 1.2.1 build problem

Hi,

Here's a quick patch against configure.in (from the head of the
galeon-1-2 branch) to use the located C++ compiler instead of
arbitrarily picking "g++". This fixes a problem where the user-specified
"CXX" variable is ignored (making it impossible to build against gcc296
on Red Hat 8.0). Since AC_PROG_CXX defines CXX if it's not already set
up, this should be safe. I've tested it a bit with two different g++
installations here, and I saw the correct behavior in each case.

This patch eliminates the need for that hacky "string.patch" diff I've
seen flying around.

You still need to edit the spec file for Red Hat 8.0 (to build against
gcc296/g++296 instead of gcc/g++), but this is the first step.

  available.
