Odd if you don't know why I added a check for that. "cpp" is a common
name that competing products may use for *their* pre-processor.
I check for it to make sure that it is *not* there, so that we
can be sure that gcc is using its own cpp, which is normally *not*
on the PATH.
DJGPP users encounter this problem occasionally with Borland C
installed.
"cpp" is the C Pre-Processor, which has little specifically to do with
the C++ language; it is used for C and C++ programs, some ASM files, and
other purposes as well.
