[boost] bind and extern "C"

I notice bind() has provisions for wacky things like microsoft calling
conventions, but what about good-ol' extern "C"?

I foolishly tried this on KCC on OSF:

          std::binary_search(
              &names[0]
              , names + sizeof(names)/sizeof(*names)
              , name
              , bind<bool>(std::less<int>(), bind(std::strcmp,_1,_2), 0)
              );

...and of course it failed because of std::strcmp.

At least this should be addressed in the FAQ, I think.
