what danny said. that construct is used to allow c programs to be able 
to link to the library that's produced by that code, even if it's c++ 
code. of course, that does NOT mean that you can slap it around any c++ 
header and expect it to work; you can't export any non-c stuff (like 
overloaded functions).
