I need to set a shell variable named C++_INCLUDE_PATH in order to let
gcc find some c++ header files.  However I am stuck on how to do this
as bash seems to choke on the '+' character in a shell variable.  There
is no problem when leaving out the '+'.  I have tried many combinations of
quoting the variable, using declare, etc. but it's not working.

I also couldn't find anything in the info pages about how to do this.  I'm
trying this on a Linux box w/ bash version 1.12.1.  Maybe I am just being dense.

Thanks,
adam
