s/C++/C/ right?

my personal preference.

Actually, neither C nor C++ compilers cry when you use 0 for NULL. It's only

go wrong if 1) you pass 0 to a function that expects a pointer and no
function prototype was available during compilation, or 2) you pass it
to a function that takes a variable parameter list.  So it is a good
habit to use NULL for pointers.

Yes, but this point stands for C compilers. In C++, `0' is the preferred way of expressing `NULL'. But since C++ compilers have nothing against `NULL', it's obviously a better choice in the context of gnulib.
