Another minor annoyance for users of Sun C++ is that the `CC' command is
implemented as a compiled program (supplied as binary only) rather than
as the shell script (in source form) which usually comes with cfront ports.

This means that if you want to get in and hack your own local tricks into
the CC script... well, you can't with Sun C++.
