Patch v1.1

Thanks, but this needs to go further.

--gcc-build should probably become --gcc. --gcc-src= should be removed

Why not remove the --gcc* options altogether, and use CC/CXX and fallback to cc/c++ when the environment variables aren't set, like most anything else?

Comment 4

[Joshua Cranmer [:jcranmer]]

It also shouldn't be necessary to put the full path in CC/CXX...

Agreed with above

Now, a specific g++ can be specified with CXX env variable. Otherwise, g++ is going to be used, except on MacOS X where g++-4.2 will be used. I'm not using dehydra on a Mac so I prefer to not change that. Let me know if I should.

Actually, I wonder, Apple's gcc supports plugins?

Then I could just remove these lines, right?
