There should be only one C++ testsuite directory: gdb.c++ XOR gdb.cp.
Otherwize general confusion will result and, no matter how good
everyones intent, new gdb.c++/* tests will eventually be added.
I'd not put much weight on CVS stupidity. Limitations of the configure
tool should not be used as an excuse for failing to fix a problem :-)
