If they are compiled by a C++ compiler and not 'extern "C"', they will
be mangled.

Yes, I've written one ;-) I would be really glad if you could give me
some feedback on it. I'm ATM working on a user manual, but the API is
documented (mostly) and it works[tm].

If you're interested, check out http://ucxx.sourceforge.net, grab a
tarball and look in the examples directory. I will put the
(preliminary) user manual online real soon (next 24 hours).
