-By default, CMake assumes a project uses the C and C++ languages, so
-it checks for both the C and the C++ compiler to exist.

-However, unionfs-fuse is written purely in C, so checking for a C++
-compiler is useless, and even prevents unionfs-fuse from building
-properly on targets for which no C++ compiler is available.
