Thanks much!

I think that if we want to use .cc, it should be a mass rename
across the board.  Ending up with a mix of .c and .cc files when
both extensions are C++ file is much more confusing than
all C++ files named .c, IMO.

gcc didn't do it, but I think that was because of that
making it difficult to do archaeology.  I don't think we have
that problem with git, as it can cross renames.

.c files don't bother me, but maybe it'd be one less
little detail newcomers would have to learn.  Not sure...

Thanks,
