The patch below seems to make it work correctly for me (for inline and
C++).  The autoheader tricks is use is kind of evil, and doing this
right would require going through all the macros and see which of them
apply for C++.  And this would be a backwards-incompatible change, but
that should not be a problem since I cannot see how it could have
worked usefully for people.
