Yes, this wrapping is normally done in the headers, but because they are 
fundamentally "C" headers and the wrapping is only valid in C++ it has 
to be contained in a #ifdef. Though looking at the GTK headers, I think 
this in turn is wrapped in magic ("G_BEGIN_DECLS"?)

Is it possible VC9 is not declaring the necessary symbol?
