Allow C static library to be used from C++.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make a new proto
2. Compile proto
3. Compile code into a static C library
4. Link to the library from external C++ code.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should be able to call those functions in C++.  Instead get undefined reference 
errors.  This is due to C++ function mangling.  If the outputed code simply 
included 

extern "C" {
#endif
//
// put C function prototypes here
int somefunction(int);
// other function prototypes here

#ifdef _cplusplus // if compiled with C++ compiler
} // end of extern "C" block
#endif

This would fix the problem.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.02M under Cygwin and Linux

Please close this issue. I submitted it before I thought.  Simply wrapping the 
#include with extern "C" { } works just fine.

As said in the previous comment this does not need to be fixed.
