Hmm, but if I understand correctly, those wrappers won't free you from having
to have a c++ library and headers around, since those wrappers will use
libmico, right?

  If that is the case, why even bother to do those wrappers? Since you're
required to have a c++ library/includes around, you'll most likely also have
a c++ compiler around, why not use that directly? Or am I wrong here?
