Thanks. This allowed me to finally unify the magic main for the three
Windows compilers (it seems that it has worked without extern "C" for MSVC
up to now, so I guess MSVC has a trick to automatically demangle WinMain()
in C++).

Patch tested with Borland C++ 5.5.1, g++ 2.95.3 and g++ 3.2 -D__GTHREAD_HIDE_WIN32API.

I've also put some words in docs/build/bcc32.txt about the problem, they will
have to be removed once the problem is fully solved.

The long-term plan is to move the #include directives out of the range of
the extern "C" directives. And I think we should add a C++ test in the
tests/ directory to make sure we have a working C++ support on every
compiler.

Patches commited.
