    delcared in the header. The only end user change is that instead of
    returning a type mraa_gpio_context pointer mraa_gpio_init() now returns a
    mraa_gpio_context (which is actually a pointer to struct _gpio internally).
  * C++ API is available, use the .hpp headers and add stdc++  to the linker
    flags.
