[PATCH] Add support for "c++" file extension

[Seth Cantrell]

Hello,

Here's a small patch to add support for the file extension 'c++'.

I'm wondering if there would be any support for the idea of using platform specific APIs in the Driver to identify input files' types. For example, on Mac OS X a function 'types::ID HostInfo::lookupTypeForFile(const char *Filename)' might call into Mac OS X's APIs for identifying the file's type.

Thanks,
Seth Cantrell

For example, on Mac OS X a function 'types::ID HostInfo::lookupTypeForFile(const char *Filename)' might call into Mac OS X's APIs for identifying the file's type.


Personally, I don't see much benefit to this, since a compiler isn't a user-level application.
