Yes, you can _use_ the Serf API from C\+\+, but you're not really supposed to _compile_ Serf as C++. No, we will _not_ be adding a bunch of casts to calls to {{malloc()}} (or {{apr_p[c]alloc()}}) — that's the only important difference between C and C\+\+ anyway.

> aCC is a C++ compiler and C++ requires casts on {{malloc()}} and friends. I know that a lot of configure scripts test for {{-Ae}} and this switch is necessary for aCC, likely for other C++ compilers too. I don't know whether this has to be fixed in {{SConstruct}} or scons itself.
