Just a quick head's up, we're about to proceed with the renaming of all .c files to .cpp. Nathan is working on updating Makefiles &tc. presently and if it works out, he'll be committing the changes soon.
The expected near-term effects to be aware of:
* Change histories on code files will be reset * Potential build issues on some platforms * Everyone will need to cvs update -Pd, make distclean, and rebuild * Compilation with gcc will cease to work as support for gcc is ended * If you are working on a branch or out of sync with CVS HEAD, your next merge may be more complicated than usual due to the file rename
These issues should be transitory, but please expect some turbulence for a bit.
Thanks, Bryce
