# Sets CXX_CHOICE to 'yes' or 'no', depending on the preferred use of C++.
# The default is 'yes'. If the configure.ac contains a definition of the
# macro gl_CXX_CHOICE_DEFAULT_NO, then the default is 'no'. In both cases,
# the user can change the value by passing the option --disable-cxx or
# --enable-cxx, respectively.
