imho, the right way to handle this is in your source, using an 'extern "C"'
directive to tell the compiler that it's including a C header and not a C++
header. e.g.
extern "C" {
#include <header_with_cpp_bogons.h>
}
If the #include directive is in another header file that might be used in
both C and C++ programs you'd probably want to put some '#ifdef __cplusplus'
around the extern's. See section 9.2.4 in Stroustrup 3rd edition for a good
example.
