Hi,
I see there was a suggestion to change the extension for C++
sourcecode files a couple of months ago. Someone had tested the .cxx
extension and found it to work with all compilers he could lay his
hands on (quite a few on UNIX systems, plus at least MSVisualC++ on
MSWindows).
So, as the current extension (.cc) _really_ confuses MSVisualC++, it'd
be nice if the patch below is applied before releasing v2.50.
Regards,
Morten
