I got a patch on the rewriteHandler.c file to the multi-action rules, and it 
worked great on Solaris 8, but doesn't compile on Solaris 7 if I use the 
option --with-CXX.

It fails with this message on configure:

checking for class string in <string.h>... no
configure: error: neither <string> nor <string.h> seem to define the C++ 
class `string\'

and from the config.log I get this:

configure:2347: checking whether we are using GNU C++
configure:2356: c++ -E conftest.C
configure:2375: checking whether c++ accepts -g
configure:2423: checking how to run the C++ preprocessor

Any thoughts?

Evidently Solaris 7's C++ support is broken.  Don't use it.
