Please not - for the small libkernel_ppp.a this might suitable 
(although I wouldn't do it), but not for a whole networking stack.
I certainly don't want to read 10 MB of net stack modules before going 
online (slight exaggeration).
C is really not so bad that I would want to live with the bloat 
currently introduced by a C++ solution.

And for your C++ object passed in C function: there doesn't have to be 
any case where the other module must access that object, or else the 
whole approach is kinda senseless.
But before I disapprove your solution, it might be better to actually 
commit it to the repository, so that I can better see what you've done, 
and where you are aiming at.

Adios...
