MSVC6 doesn't support .cc/.hh directly, so one has to do ugly registry
ugly registry tweeking to get it registered as C++ extension. This is
quite a good show stopper if one just wants quickly to compile Pingus.

We currently have .hh/.cc, so yep, the formar is easier to type and
thats what I want.

Something like:

mcp "*.cc" "#1.cxx"
mcp "*.hh" "#1.hxx"
cvs remove -f *.hh *.cc
cvs add *.?xx 
perl ... "s/\.hh/\.hxx/" *.?xx

should basically do it.

Good point. When we are at it we can also remove useless Pingus
prefixes, but that might take a bit longer than the casechange alone,
so we might do that in a second step. So in the end
PingusActionFactory.cc would become action_factory.cxx.
