The correct way is:

#define private pprivate
#include <foo>
#undef private

...

Given these complications, would it perhaps be better to define some
specific "C++ headers" for libxc etc which correctly wrap the C ones ? 
I dont think it is unreasonable to say "C++ consumers should include
<foo.hpp> instead of foo.h"
