Yes, but if we restricted HDR to contain only C header files, this would happen
automatically, since HDR_CHECK_OBJS is computed from HDR.

Whether it is a standard practice is not the point. The question is whether we
should adopt this standard practice or some other standard practice (since
there are so many to choose from). For example, the Aditi project uses .hh for
C++ header files and .cc for C++ source files.
