[Vortex] Linking Problem (SASL/TLS prebuilt binaries + VC2005)

[Maxim Reality]

Hi,

I did some further research using dumpbin and found out that symbol
names were mangled in the obj file calling the functions. Adding
extern "C" around Vortex headers
fixed the problem but is not really that pretty solution. Could we fix
this into the official headers?

Any thoughts on the callback issue btw?

BR,

Juhani
