good stuff
Can you share with us your "testing" script?
Are you using expect or any test harness (dejagnu?) to automate work?

The Hamlib frontend API and the backend interface _must_ be in C.
Mainly because on some platforms, the C++ ABI is a pain in the a..
And since we want portability, there was no choice.

Now, if someone is developing a backend he/she does not intend to distribute,
he/she can write in c++, as long as the backend interface remain in C
(don't forget the extern "C" ).
