Add g++ to required tools

Because gmp is now always build with --enable-cxx,
g++ has become a required tool

[PATCH 0 of 2] GMP build issues

[Bart vdr. Meulen]

Two patches to fix somes issues I had when trying to build
GMP.

First one is to check wheter a C++ compiler is installed on the build system,
this is needed due to the --enable-cxx flag.

Second one it to override the shell for config scripts, usefull on ubuntu systems
where the user does not want to change the default shell script.
Note I posted a draft of this patch already friday in response to question
about build problems with gmp

I'd rather select the shell to be used in a choice menu, like:

"Shell to use as CONFIG_SHELL:"
   "sh (system shell)"
   "ash"
   "bash"
   "Custom shell"
     "Path to custom shell:"

I've already done this in a local branch I'll be pushing later tonight...

OTOH, if we do know that some shells do not work, they why leave such
an option, and why not forcibly use the shell we know works ?

Yann E. MORIN.
