On my (pre-3.1) system, "gcc hello.cpp" fails, while "g++ hello.cpp" works 
fine.  IIRC, I've chased my tail around in circles several times in the 
past because I typed "gcc" when I should have typed "g++".  That's probably 
obvious to regular GCC users, but as an occasional user I find it a source 
of confusion.
