Because the driver program recognizes ASM, OBJ, C, C++, EXE, COM, LIB,
DEF files, etc., and tries to do the obvious thing with it. For instance,
if a .EXE file name is given, the driver assumes that is the name of the
output file wanted.

Also, the driver tries on various extensions if the user didn't type in
one. This can be a nice convenience.

If all else fails, the driver assumes it is a C++ or C program, depending
on if the -cpp is used or not.

As to whether a #include file is .h or .hpp or whatever, makes absolutely
*no* difference to the driver.
