I agree. Except that libavcodec/libavformat are libraries. And the 
library user (ie a programmer) shouldn't have to wonder if the C calling 
convention or the C++ one has to be applied. Unless he has to check the 
original source to see what is the original programming language.

Anyway, it's not necessary on anything else than avcodec.h and avformat.h
