Summary: Generic AIX C++ Module Support

Initial Comment:
The current support for C++ modules on AIX is out of
date and incompatible with more recent compiler
versions. Depending on which compiler is being used,
the "load.h" include could be in any of at least three
places, which may or may not be in the include path.
Since only a single prototype is required, it is
identical in all versions, and isn't likely to change,
the simplest way to deal with the issue is to simply
include the one prototype in the configuration and the
dynload module. Also, the symbol is always going to
live in /usr/lib/libC.a, so a simple -lC is sufficient
to pull it in. I've tested it with C Set++ 3.1.4 on AIX
4.2.1 and VACPP 5.0 on AIX 4.3.3 (the two extremes,
more or less) and it works fine.
