Well, it's a C and not a C++ header and these #ifdefs are ugly :-)

Isn't it a better solution to use the extern "C" when including the
file in the C++ .C code if you really want to use sane.h in C++? Or do
we get trouble this way because it includes the structs?

Please wait some time before doing that. Maybe someone else can tell
us real reasons not to use the extern "C" stuff.
