While extern "C" is usus to be extra friendly to C++ programmers who want to
get a taste of good ol' C again, I don't see any precendence for putting
C libraries into namespaces.  If you want to put it into a namespace, declare
the namespace before including the header file.  Or rather get someone to
write proper C++ classes that wrap the library.

I could also add some struct fields named "throw" and "catch", but I am not
that mean.  I know people who do and are, though... ;)

Thanks,
Marcus
