A large majority of C++ packages depend on libstdc++*; the ones that
doesn't are probably libraries which have been linked using cc instead
of c++. For example libsigc++-1.1-5 and libgtkmm1.3-14 would pass
unnoticed even if they are both C++ libraries. This *might be*
symptomatic of libtool libraries, counterexamples appreciated. In this
case you'd have to look for typical C++ symbols in the output of, say,
objdump -T, e.g. __pure_virtual, __dynamic_cast. In general you'd have
to look for traces of C++ mangling.
