Ok, i'll move to C++ then, until a dedicated C plugin API comes out.

Adding extern "C" to a small set of files doesn't make sense to me. When
working with real-world plugin, you will certainly end up calling many
different gcc primitives coming from a wide bunch of header files (which
for most of them don't use extern "C" for now). This hack should be applied
to all of the plugin visible files, or none, but not to just a few when someone
needs it.
