Re: AC_PROG_CC not working

Currently I can't think of any good one.  In addition, I now think it
is now feasible to merge *_CPP in *_CC as I first thought, not without
revamping a lot of code which is a big no before 2.50.

Anyway, I am still against the possibility to specify a list of
compilers for AC_PROG_CC, CXX etc.  I think we will never stop having
problem with this feature :(
