Include cc/c++ in compilers #84

It's very common for builds to use cc or c++ as the executables to call compilers by. Would be very useful to have these executables included in the compilers so that they work smoothly in these cases.

It would also be great for gcc/gxx to have their normal executable names as well

Having the compiler activation alias cc, c++, gcc or gxx has the potential to shadow the system compilers with the same name. I can imagine this would come as a surprise to many users.

Perhaps an alternative would be to only activate these aliases inside conda-build environments. This would solve problems where various build tool try to call the compiler by these names but would not shadow the system compilers in user space.

@mingwandroid do you have any thoughts on this topic?
