  Support for the experimental C++ interface was taken out of MPICH a
  couple of versions back.  At the time it was quite incomplete.
  We have modified it quite a bit since then and will eventually
  re-release it (I'm not sure when this will be).

  Most of the freely available implementations (including MPICH) "work" with 
  C++.  You do not need the "-c++" option to use the C interface of MPICH
  in C++ programs.
