[Freeciv-Dev] C++ and stuff

[Nicolas Brunel <brunel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here what i found about language choice ( thx Brunus )

        Using a language other than C is like using a non-standard
feature: ... it will cause trouble for users. For example, if you
write your program in C++, people will have to install the C++ compiler
in order to compile your program.  ... And C has one other advantages
over C++ and other compiled languages: more people know C,so more
people will find it easy to read and modify the program if it is written
in C. 
        Richard Stallman    GNU coding standard

It must be specific to freeciv. Otherwise guile exists.
