Bah, the mailing server still has the headers broken!  Sending to the
list this time, how inconvenient...

I have always been curious about that.  For my own projects I have
always used .hpp for C++ only headers and .h for C/C++ or just C
headers.  I have noticed other libraries follow the same standard, I
have always been curious why some, such as LLVM, do not?
