Hi,

FYI, on *nix systems (especially autotools), there is name conventions:

CFLAGS: options for C compiler
CXXFLAGS: options for C++ compiler
CPPFLAGS: options for C preprocessor
FFLAGS: options for Fortran compiler
LDFLAGS: options for linker
LDADD: libraries to link

(see http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Program-and-Library-Variables.html
for more)

So, from autotools user's point of view, I prefer 'cxxflags' for c++
only options.
