Indentation varies for .cc and .cpp

[Eric Lilja]

Hello, I'm trying to construct .emacs-file to be used in a course. The
emacs version in question is 21.4.1. I haven't written the original
.emacs file but I've made a few changes to it based on student input.
The course is a C++ course and some of the student use .cc to denote to
C++ files, some use .cpp. We want placement of {} to be aligned with
their opening clause:
if(some_condition)
{
   // code here
}

for(...)
{
   // code here
}

etc...emacs does this for files ending in .cpp, but for files ending in
.cc it indents the {} themselves so we get
if(some_condition)
   {
      // code
   }
Why and how do I change this behaviour?

Here's the .emacs-file:

I stripped out comments in swedish manually so they don't distract,
hope I didn't remove any non-comments by mistake (a command to that
gratefully accepted).
