Everything embraced by that ``extern "C"'' is POC -- Plain Old C.  In C,
"static" is a linkage qualifier; static functions are not exported, are
not visible outside the module.  Put another way, you can't link to a
static function.  

You're using it within the same compilation unit.  That's why it works
either way.  :-)
