[CMake] Changing linker program

[William A. Hoffman]

You can do it like this:

ADD_EXECUTABLE(foo foo.c)
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(foo PROPERTIES HAS_CXX TRUE)

That should work with the most current release of cmake.
For older cmake versions, if you add a dummy c++ file to the executable,
it will do the same thing.  As long as there is at least one c++ file
in the sources of a target or the target has the propertie HAS_CXX set to
true it will use c++.
