There are no C++ files in nginx itself except a simple test module 
which is to test if nginx headers are usable in C++.  For this 
purpose current approach of simply using C compiler and C compiler 
flags is certainly enough.

We may consider something low-intrusive to make writing C++ 
modules easier.  The patch you've provided doesn't look 
low-intrusive though.

Note well that if nginx build process is not enough for you, you 
may consider using config.make mechanism, which allows generating 
arbitrary make commands to be used to build your module.
