You cannot avoid the inclusion of C++ code. colorer is written
in C++ and as such it cannot be linked directly with MC. You'll
need a wrapper which must be compiled with C++ compiler. We can
discuss however where to put that code ? It can be moved into
a directory of its own or it can be left where it is now.
