It is still problematic: we need the extensions during AC_PROG_CXX for
the sanity tests, so it must be called beforehand, but since it needs
the compiler, it must be called afterwards :(
I can't see how this macro could be optional...
Hm, well, yes actually, I see how: setting an sh var which
enables/disables code in AC_PROG_CXX.
I'll send a patch to do this relative to the ac-prog-compiler-inext
patch.
