Sounds interesting.  I'd advocate staying with straight C (Although I'd
prefer ANSI over K&R... I make too many mistakes with function arguments
otherwise).  In my experience, C++ is too dependent on specific compiler's
features; something that compiles on g++ mightn't compile on Sun's CC.  The
forthcoming C++ standard might mitigate this somewhat, but overall I'd
recommend sticking with C.

I'm interested in testing your library; drop me a line if you'd like some
feedback.
