Sorry I can't offer any help, but I'm genuinely curious by what 
you mean in this part of your quote. If the API is changing, how 
does using C++, or for that matter C, help you? Sure, you can 
include the header directly in your program, but don't you still 
have to change your program? I must be missing something.
