new configure error ...

[Christian Stimming]

As for the "old" configure problem -- thanks, Derek, for simply reverting the 
openhbci.m4 change. Obviously it was way too difficult for the autotools to 
have a C++ check right in the middle of a big C project with lots of C 
checks.

I will probably revert the up-to-date openhbci.m4 back to a C-based check 
program. Anyway, that macro reveals a fundamental problem with 
autotools-managed packaged: OpenHBCI itself can be used from both C and C++ 
projects. And during debugging of openhbci.m4 I only used a C++ project, 
which is why I didn't realize the problems earlier. Now I could switch back 
openhbci.m4 to use only the C compiler etc. -- but is this really going to 
work correctly for all C++ projects? Who knows... probably it does because 
once a C++ compilers is up and running, it can recognize C programs. But not 
vice versa. So it is probably the better choice to leave autotools macros 
always in C...
