From: Owen Hilyard <ohily...@iol.unh.edu>
Adds a C++ compiler to the project, which is currently enabled by
default for ease of testing. Meson currently lacks a way to try to get a
compiler, and failing to find a compiler for a language always causes a
hard error, so this is the only workable approach.
