[antlr-interest] C target with g++ compiler

Hi dan,
 
Well, if you se the g++ compiler, it is going to try compiling the code as C++, which plainly it isn't ;-). You will find that I did kind of cull most of those things out as Visual Studio 2005 compilers will point out some of this stuff in W4 mode. However, it is best to compile it as C, which is the intent really. You should not need to compile the C runtime as C++ code in order to link with it, you just need to declare your parser interfaces and so on as extern "C". I keep meaning to build that into the C output to make C++ integration easier - sorry I have not done that yet.
