The original point of this thread was that you don't actually have to change
the header file itself to change its meaning in C/C++.
If you want to have access to some private members of a class in C++, you
merely have to write:

#define class struct
#define private public
#include <another.h>

and all the private members suddenly become public.
No changes to the header file. C++'s protection just ain't good enough.
