Hehe, yes while making the patch I realised that CPP referred to the
pre-processor (many years ago when I started programming in C++ I used
Borland 3.1 and I guess it come from that, it was a blessing when I
found DJGPP and could simply ignore the memory boundaries).

The patch that I submitted do not touch the CPPFLAGS but i have added
new CXXFLAGS.

With regard to patch's I have submitted another one and just wondering
what the process for getting patches applied to the source?
