Just started trying to use g++ with X11R3, and found these sticky problems:

1. There are structure field names in header files with names like
   'class', a reserved keyword in C++.

2. Header files contain structure defs of the form:
   struct foo { ... } foo, and this seems to cause g++ to choke.

So we've been forced to use C jacket routines to hide the C++
incompatibilities in X.
