You could try adding it to the appropriate list in the appropriate 
Makefile.common file (you haven't said what that file does, so I don't 
know what list that'd be).

However, as Ulf Lamping noted, we haven't written any C++ code for 
Ethereal, so we can't guarantee that it'd work (for one thing, a number 
of function declarations probably aren't protected with

	extern "C" {
		...
	}

), and we can't necessarily guarantee that *all* C compilers that would 
be used to compile Ethereal would accept ".cc" (as opposed to, for 
example, ".cxx", and possibly other suffixes) as the suffix for a C++ file.
