AJ will not allow any code other than 'c'. Not even C++ because some compilers will 'choke' on it. The same for ObjectiveC. However, there is a pure 'c' to ObjC interface and the winequartz project plans on using it. Thus a good work-around for broken compilers and this should make AJ happy because it is 'c' code.
