parameters set interactively persistent across configuration runs
<LI><B>configure</B> now automatically checks for the SunPRO C++ product
as a potential compiler
<LI>the Makefile rules for the SunPRO C++ compiler are now properly
setup on SunOS systems
<LI><B>configure</B> now verifes that the C++ facilities properly support
global static variables with constructors (as required by the software)

<TT>crypt</TT> resides in <B><crypt.h></B> when that file is
present
<LI>auto-configuration of the AFM files was corrected
<LI>several new configuration parmaeters were added to control
workarounds for systems with incorrect function declarations
<LI>DSO configuration has been changed to make it easier for non-IRIX
schemes to be added

bug introduced in release 1.3.80)
