ATmega168 is about $4 in ones from digikey, and less than $3 if you buy
25.  Arduino (using mega8 or mega168 and gcc) claims to support some 
c++.

I'd be worrying about runtime environments for C++ in deeply embedded
systems.  Some of the features people are talking about (exception
handling?) rely on an OS-like thing as well as the language.
