Well yes didn't think of that.  But what about:

#ifdef __cplusplus
#  define annodex_class _class
#else
#  define annodex_class class
#endif

and replace the offending "class" members with "annodex_class".  At
least the source code wouldn't be cluttered by lots of #ifdefs :).  And
people wourd be free to write "annodex_class" in source-code which must
compile as C _and_ C++ code.

David
