The common case is all C. That already works. If you do both, you
break the uncommon case, in which you have C++ source files (or at
least named like them) but want C linkage. You cannot use PROG=
anymore. This can only lead to a third one PROG_C, which is almost
exactly like PROG. This is confusing.

I think only PROG_CXX is better. This automaticly means that PROG
is for C. Always...
