There's a script in contrib to test an installed compiler. Right now
it only works for gcc/g++/g77, not any of the libraries; and you need
to add "rootme" to the generated site.exp to use it for C++; but it
does work, and I use it frequently.

No, it's not up to date (and I think that was never really accurate...)
