good idea. do it!

I think 2 tests hould be made:

1. compilation of simple sample c++ code (with some includes of
standard c++ headers, line <string> (not Nstring.h> !) and using
some c++ function like new or so. you can get example from bugreports :))

2. running this file - check for libstdc++ in ld.so path etc.

different error msg should be printed for these tests failed.
(1: c++ compiler failed, check if you have g++ headers etc,
2: running c++ prg failed, libstdc++ path/version problem)
