I'd say no. A C++ compiler is not standard item and should not be a
required prerequisite. Configure should work by default and let you
turn extra things on, not fail until you switch things off. I'd rather
get "how do I get r.terraflow" emails than "can't get past configure"
emails.

Also r.terraflow is still waiting on security fixes that the rest of
GRASS already has.

Of course r.terraflow is a major plus for GRASS.
