#11 File Extension .cc Not Recognised

[Gavin Kingsley]

Our C++ files use an extension of .cc rather than .cpp
or .cxx but GC does not know how to handle them.

(1) GC should at least warn the user that the extension
is unrecognised. I wasted a lot of time trying to
figure out why GC was doing anything!

(2) Add .cc to the list of supported extensions.

(3) Provide an option, or similar, to force GC to
interpret a certain file (or certain extension) as
being written in a specified language.

I got this to work for me by modifying in.c to address issue
(2) above:
