I developed a C++ wrapper around some old C-code using:

Although it seems to work, this solution looks very odd to me.
Is there a better way to handle this? I also worry about additional
system headers which may then be included randomly within different
contexts....
If I understand correctly, you're trying to use some header files in
a C++ program that think they are C++ aware, but are, infact, not. Any
solution that does not actually fix those headers is going to be a hack.
You can either
1) stick with the old headers
2) beat the C-API authors with a C++ std :)
3) hack something akin to what you have, and keep your fingers crossed.
