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 :-)
