Well, we compile Ethereal from the command line, and MSVC++ does realize that Ethereal is C code, not C++ code, and doesn't apply C++'s rules to it. I don't know whether the GUI stuff would work as well; perhaps it doesn't, and would think it's all C++ - or perhaps it's just the syntax highlighter that doesn't know the difference.
