Using XalanCAPI.h to compile a transformer with Microsoft 'C' (not C++)
requires the
following patch to the new Xerces-C 3.0.1
(xercesc/src/xercesc/util/XercesDefs.hpp. I have no
such problem with Xerces-C.3.0.
A patch is required in order for XALAN-C 1.11 to use its C-APIs with
XERCES-C 3.0.1 using Microsoft C Compilers (not C++).

Edit Section: Add test for (__cplusplus)
This prevents 'C' compilers from trying to invoke the 'namespace' commands.
I found this issue when trying to build XALAN-C XSLT ransformation using the
XALAN C-APIs with Microsoft C (not C++) compilation. Adding the test
for defined(__cplusplus) resolves the C language compatibility issue.
