I don't know :-(

On one hand, this may ``fix'' headers that miss the needed extern "C";
on the other, it may break C++-aware headers in case they contain, for
example, overloaded declarations of certain (possibly internal)
functions :-(


Maybe we have to test what the preferred way to obtain a declaration
of exit() is, and use it in all C++ tests?
