Then it is funny the header file doesn't work under C. Back to the topic though, if 
there are no exceptions then Pyrex could generate C code that also compiles as 
C++. As I understand it though it would take major changes to the Pyrex compiler 
(another pass?). Some static forward declarations have to be removed from the 
Pyrex generated C.
