PS. adding support for .c and .cc files seems a little unnecessary since
testing of C and C++ code is already supported (in .m and .mm files).
It's true that when you test C code in a .m file, you do get the ObjC runtime
library and the gnustep-base library added to the link command, but if you
don't use them that seems harmless, and if you want to link alternative
libraries which export the same symbols, you could do so with a little care
about the link order you use.
I guess the point is mainly familiarity/clarity ... people might just want to
put a .c extension on their files rather than a .m extension. The patch is
good to allow that.
