Hi.

I'm a C++ developper and I gave a try to your library, and I saw that the lxw_strerror function wasn't exported as C symbol.

The file : include/xlsxwriter/utility.h
I moved the block

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

just above the declaration of lxw_strerror.

P.S. : Thanks a lot for giving time to create such a library.
