Hi Marc,

It is safest if you leave the leave the .c files as they are and compile 
them with a C compiler rather than change the extension and compile them 
with a C++ compiler. There are just enough subtle differences between C 
and C++ that there is no guarantee that the .c files are going to 
compile with C++. Besides the C compiler should be able to smaller, 
possibly more efficient machine code (no exceptions, no RTTI, and so on).
