Hrm, that sucks.  I would look in the bug tracker about this.  CMake
shouldn't be making draconian assumptions about .c or .C suffixes.

I'll wager a workaround is to use (PROJECT blah CXX C) and pass a
"compile as C++" flag to the compiler somehow.  Lotsa stuff in the
mailing list archives about how to pass compiler flags.  I guess if
that workaround works, then the issue is not a showstopper, just
significantly annoying.  You should still ping bug tracker so that
people realize the issue does affect people.
