I notice that, after I use mmc --make --grade il in the samples directory,
the Mercury directory has a few new directories, including ils, cpps, and
css.  Are these only for use if the MC++ and C# foreign language interfaces
are used, or will they require a MC++ (Microsoft) compiler to build
regardless of whether you have any MC++ code in the actual Mercury code?
