I am not very enthusiastic for working at making TeXmacs compile with 
proprietary compilers. And unless I have an account on a machine with 
said compiler I really cannot see how I could possibly do it.

Moreover I cannot figure out a situation where I could be possible to 
compile and run TeXmacs locally, but impossible install a local g++...

However I can produce a configure script which accepts other compilers. 
But if I were you, I would wait until TeXmacs is fixed and tested to 
compile with g++-3.1, which is said to be much more standard compliant 
than g++-2.95 which is currently the compiler of choice of TeXmacs. But I 
would not hold my breath.

However, as an employer in a research institution, you might be 
interested in employing me for this work...
