Dan,

If I understand things correctly, in C++, a function signature
determines not just the calling convention but also the symbols real
name.  If either of these requirements are not met then the code won't
work.  Consequently, for C++, the mangler and other C++ stuff really
make up part of the over all application binary interface.

Hence the choice of ``cp-abi.*'' as the basename.
