Mostly not the compilers are broken, but rather the make logic and/or the GUI
around it. I am quite sure Borland C++ Builder doesn't make .cc files show up
in the 'add file to project' (the standard Windows "file open") dialog...
And indeed... syntax highlight is gone in _any_ compiler on Windows with the
exeception of ports from Unix (gvim for example).
Also, there will not be a file association for .cc in the file manager either.
All in all those were the reasons for me calling it "non-portable"...
(I BTW agree with Malte and Michael that it might be a bit too much to turn
CVS upside down, I didn't realize the amount of changes involved... Maybe we
should leave it with the conclusion that .cpp is better, but .cc should not
be changed and only _new_ files should have .coo extensions - or even retain
the current status quo, though I still feel that standardization would be a
great thing to have)
Martijn, not even knowing what his own opinion is here...
