My next question is: if I have both .c and .cpp files in ./src/ is
made from RcppArmadillo's skeleton function is OK right?  I never
understood the stuff about libraries and headers so I never know
what's going on under the hood.  I just tried building a package with
both kinds of files and the package built without an error.

Thanks.
