Thats exactly what I'd like to do. The first step is to get the source
headers usable in C++ (1), then a .c->.cc migration (2), and finally to
start refactoring (3).

I would like us to do (1) as soon as possible. It's a smallish patch
I've got here.
(2) I'd like us to do one .c file at a time, when someone has time. If
no-one else has time, I'd be quite happy doing one file a day.

Then (3) can be accomplished as part of code reviews/tidyups and as a
precursor to feature adding.
