Hah, nice.  The easiest "fix" would probably be to put burn and iso in the
same namespace.

Another option is to put the common stuff in a single .h file and include
that inside the extern "C" { part of the respective header files.

Or we could probably sprinkle millions of #ifdefs and ::s around the code.

Any objections to solution number one?  Anyone have something better??
