Few days ago I asked a question about being able to use getusershell()
function from standard C library in C++.

Thanks to Paul A Sand <pas_at_unh.edu>,
          "Daniel S. Riley" <dsr_at_mail.lns.cornell.edu>
          "Robert L. McMillin" <rlm_at_syseca-us.com> and
          Ray Bellis <Ray.Bellis_at_community.co.uk>.

The answer is simple. Since the function getusershell() was
not declared anywhere, I needed to put

extern "C" { getusershell();}

to get C++ to recognize the function...
