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**" means C/C++;
I use this notation to keep the column a little narrower than "C/C++" would be.
(As of this writing, the API is unknown for many libraries, and the benefit of the doubt
is given for boldfacing.)
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. (As of this writing, the API is unknown for many
libraries, and the benefit of the doubt is given for boldfacing.)
