[LDM #MCW-843167]: ldm.h c++ compatibility

Nathan,

I'll see what I can do

Unfortunately, the "_t" suffix is reserved for use by operating system
if any system header-file is included, so I'll have to use something
else.

There's nothing in the current LDM package that would enable C++-compatible
header-files to be created.

I'll see what I can do.
