Due to name mangling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_mangling) a C++ 
shared library compiled with a particular compiler would only be useful 
to those using the same
compiler, this is the reason things like COM were invented, anyone using 
shared libraries has used C linking at least once
in their life, ever used OpenGL? if so you did too. C-linking stays, go 
nuts about writing all the wrappers you want though.
