49.+How to use the String definition from a C++ library?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The X11R4 and later header files are compatible with C++. The Motif
1.1 header files are usable as is inside extern "C" {...}. However, the
definition of String in Intrinsic.h can conflict with the libg++ other
String class and needs to be worked around.

What is the best way to work around this ?

	#define String XtString
	#include <X11/Intrinsic.h>
	#undef String
