As mentioned in the subject line, I've added Bug 8416 - "remove C++ 
incompatibilities from packet-pw-atm.c" with the associated patch.  Doing a 
little forensic work on the C++ incompatibilities still present in the code 
base, here are the types of issues of the 4919 "c++-incompat" lines in a 
compilation of the latest source using gcc on a Linux box (Fedora 17) (before 
this patch):

type    count   percent
implicit_casts  4013    81.58%
keyword_use     634     12.89%
enum_conversion 197     4.00%
uninit_const    7       0.14%
field_typedef   5       0.10%
special_operator        3       0.06%
incompat_ptr    2       0.04%
other   58      1.18%

It's clear that the vast majority of these (over 98%) are of only three 
different kinds which are mostly trivial fixes.  I do want to point out, 
however, that the way I chose to resolve the enum_conversion complaint was to 
change the type of one member of a struct from an enum type to an int.  The 
longer version of the rationale is in the bug report.  If we find this kind of 
patch acceptable, and desirable, I'll do more.
