all I got is:
`FILE.cc'
`FILE.cxx'
`FILE.cpp'
`FILE.C'
     C++ source code which must be preprocessed.  Note that in `.cxx',
     the last two letters must both be literally `x'.  Likewise, `.C'
     refers to a literal capital C.

`-C'
     Rename files to end in `.C' instead of `.c'.  This is convenient
     if you are converting a C program to C++.  This option applies
     only to `protoize'.

Can you point me to something more specific?
Is there a conversion to C++ in progress? list.C ando other files in lib/=

use classes.
I also see some classes in include/{framebuffer,database}.h...
