The <cxxflags> feature is applicable to C++ sources and <cflags> is 
associated with C sources. Therefore <cxxflags> should only be added for a 
*.cpp pch and <cflags> for a *.c pch. Thus, it may be useful to have a pch_c 
and pch_cpp action so we can associate the correct flags.

I am looking into removing the need to do the cast the H or HPP file.
