libraries are either non-public domain, or two files, or not usable from both C and C++, or
all three. Libraries of more than two files are mostly forbidden.
For the API column, "C" means C only, "C++" means C++ only, and "C/C++C**" means C/C++ usable
from either; even if a library includes a .cpp file it may be usable from C if the header has
the appropriate 'extern "C"' usage, and likewise even if a library includes a .c file it may
be usable from C++ for the same reason.
For the API column, "C" means C only, "C++" means C++ only, and "C/C++" means C/C++ usable
from either; some files may require *building* as C or C++ but still qualify as "C/C++" as
long as the header file uses ~~extern "C"~~ to make it work. (In some cases, a header-file-only
library may compile as both C or C++, but produce an implementation that can only be called from
one or the other, because of a lack of use of ~~extern "C"~~; in this case we still qualify it
as C/C++, as this is not an obstacle to most users.)
