Could anyone give me some pointers on converting a C
program to C++?  I don't necessarily need to take
advantage of the C++ features - I just want to get my
C program to compile under C++.  What is the minimum
that must be done?

I have a main program in C which includes several header
files and links in some (non-standard) libraries.  I
don't have source for the libraries, but I'm hoping I just
need to modify the header files (external linkage, suspending
type checking here and there, etc).

I am making some headway on the conversion, but if someone
experienced with this could provide some advice, I'd 
appreciate it.
