Hello!

Which of the two constructs in the subject is better -- more portable,
more reliable, more correct (for some definitions of the adjectives
listed)?

AFAIK, when linking an executable, it is LD=${CXX} (hence the recent
PROG_CXX introduction). But what about linking together a shared C++
library which is supposed to be used in C executables (the relationship
between graphics/libfpx and graphics/ImageMagick)?

Is it time for LIB_CXX define?

Thanks!

	-mi
