Make .o withe the same rule for both C and C++ files (newbie question)

[Stefan Karlsson]

Hello all,

I want to use the same rule for compiling both C and C++ files. Since I 
have a compiler with some peculiarities I cannot get away with just 
changing some variables and rely on the default rules.

Basically, instead of writing

 %.o: %.c
     <the-rule>

 %.o: %.cpp
     <the-rule>

I want to write something like

 %.o: %.c
 %.o: %.cpp
     <the-rule>


Is this possible? I'm a newbie, so please forgive me if this question is 
ultra-stupid.
