VFS Modules & C++ Support

Hi,

Q.  Can a samba vfs module be implemented using C++?
Q.  If so, how do I enable C++ support?

Also, in the section titled "*Building Your VFS Module*",
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Writing_a_Samba_VFS_Module#Building_Your_VFS_Module,
I ran into trouble compiling the fake_compression module.

To fix this, I made the following changes:

*Old Code from Wiki*

    NTSTATUS vfs_fake_compression_init(void);
    NTSTATUS vfs_fake_compression_init(void) {...}

*New Code*

    static_decl_vfs;
    NTSTATUS vfs_fake_compression_init(TALLOC_CTX* ctx) {...}

Q.  Are both *static_decl_vfs* and *vfs_fake_compression_init* required?

It may be worth adjusting the wiki so other developers don't fail at
building the example module.

Thanks,

Kory Draughn
