Hi,

while trying to build IBM's open-source Java compiler "jikes" on NetBSD, I
found that BSD make does not recognize the wintel style C++ file extension
"*.cpp" for a C++ source file. While I would not debate that .C looks much
nicer ;) there are a lot of C++ sources with wintel origin  out there.

Would we want to add this, or is there any easy way of teaching the make
system about equivalences ("treat .cpp like .C)?
