The command to compile an extension is stored as a list; C++ extensions
are compiled by replacing the first item with the name of the C++
compiler. Obviously, that doesn't work here, as the first item isn't the
compiler. I'll take a look.

For now, if you aren't going to use scipy.cluster, you can disable it by
editing Lib/setup.py and commenting out the appropiate line. It's the
only subpackage compiled by default that requires C++ at install time
(the others are in the sandbox, and weave).
