umm.. how?

cd ext/pspell
/usr/local/php5/bin/phpize
env CC=g++ CFLAGS=-fuse-cxa-atexit ./configure --with-php-config=/usr/local/php5/bin/php-config
make

C++ is a superset of C thus any C code can be complied as C++ as long as it doesn't use any
C++ reserved words.  Plus, C++ has much stronger type checking and it is worth a run through
at least occasionally to double checking that code is sane.

as to why? well that is more complicated.. I'm mainly tilting at windmills.. 
but I've been trying to find a simpler resolution to my php setup crashing with
a SEGFAULT when Zend Optimizer is installed and pspell is a shared extension.

I'm starting to suspect it is something misbehaving in the Optimizer, but I need
to organize my research before I present any theories publicly.
