) thought it might be useful to be able to write modules C++ rather than in plain C here we go 
The problem when trying to use C++ code with eggdrop is that eggdrop uses some global function table for imports which does not mix very with C++.
A simple "extern C" is not enough to be able to include the "module.h".
So my approach is to use a wrapper.
We start building normal module which wraps all stuff we need and compile that one with C.
Then we take the header file of that and just include it in our C++ files.
At the end we link all together.
Only thing we need are some structs from eggdrop to be able to bind/unbind commands from C++.
The whole thing ofcourse only works well when we don't need A LOT of eggdrop core functions cause then it might be a lot work to wrap them all
My example module is called "cpphello.mod" and it just outputs a message to channel when triggered via "!hello".
