I just gave my impression from the input of Akim:

My impression is that you is a dedicated C programmer, and do not
want to work with the C++ stuff in the context of these C skeletons.
So it suggests that Akim is the one doing an independent effort of
yours to get these C-skeleton compilers working under at least some C+
+ compilers. It suggests some kind of support, though not official.
My own problem is only what to say to people who want to use the
compile C as C++ option as a part of their projects in some cases
used by many (as I want to use a C++ skeleton giving me full access
to C++ features). The statements by you and Akim do not converge in
my mind, and need some syncing, it seems. :-)
