Hmmm... My experiments with c++, dsp code and gcc (recent 2.96) did not
turn out very well. For some reason the optimiser totaly chokes on c++
code. I only tried one routine, and I'm no c++ expert, so its possible I
screwed something up, but it did not look encouraging. I will revisit this
and also try gcc3, which has much better c++ support IIRC.
