The following patch updates the FAQ_AIX and makes C++ code work with
more recent versions of the IBM C++ compiler (now called VisualAge C++).
The C++ part was previously broken (g++ and xlC), thus this is zero risk. 
Only AIX specific parts are touched (1 Makefile.shlib line (link with $(COMPILER) instead 
of $(CC) and one shell script line (parameter -C to nm to not demangle C++ symbols for 
.exp file)). 

I thus ask you to please apply this patch before release.

With or without this patch RC1 on AIX 4.3.2 RS6000 passes "gmake check" for both the native 
compiler vac.C 5.0.1 and gcc 2.95.2 :-)

Applied because it is AIX-specific changes.  Thanks.
