+
+2010-08-16 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
+
+ Support more C++ file extensions for MSVC in the compile script.
+ * lib/compile (func_cl_wrapper): MSVC only recognizes the .cpp
+ file extension as C++, unless it's given a hint. So hint about

+ .c, .cpp, .CPP, .lib, .LIB and .Lib files.
+ * lib/compile3.test: Test the C++ hinting.
