Comment(by rl):

 Adding the DLL would be strange. The C libraries (libgcc, libm etc.)
 aren't shipped as DLLs, why should C++ be treated differently? Either all
 those DLLs should be included or none of them should.

 Removing C++ support doesn't seems like a useful change to me. It's very
 easy to include in the distribution but rather hard to install separately.
 Besides, this would be a significant change from 6.12.
