in principle i'm positive to both, because every c compiler i know of 
is able to compile c++.
On the other hand, i'm not in favor of inclusion of externals into PD. 
To my mind this is a question of packaging, not of core functionality.
I personally would even throw out so-called internals and all graphical 
objects of course, with a compact kernel remaining.

best greetings,
Thomas
