Loading C++ modules in C programs is non trivial because C++ code
usually needs some initialisation.

Use libtool to make library files, see http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/
(or "apt-get install libtool" on your Debian system).

To use them, have a look at the GLib's portable method for loading
"plug-ins":
