I'd like to keep the distributed base source straight XP ANSI C, but since
your stuff will live in mod_digsig, I'm sure we can add all the right
conditional wrappers into the header files so that you can compile it with
a C++ compiler and we'll just link the two together, right?  I haven't
done much C++ stuff so I don't really know how that might work.

mod_digsig could be distributed similiar to how mod_php is for Apache, as
a seperately compiled external app, and just the .o/.a files are copied
into the jabber distro and then linked in.  Would this work?
