File extensions should be configurable, Pro*C Files with ending .pc for example are not checked about cppcheclipse

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The extension pc will never be checked by cppcheck itself. Just compare with 
the file lib/path.cpp Path::acceptFile 
(https://github.com/danmar/cppcheck/blob/master/lib/path.cpp#L209). Only the 
extension listed there are supported, i.e.
cpp, cxx, cc, c++, tpp, txx, c. Please open an enhancement request at cppcheck 
first (http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/cppcheck/timeline) and link it here, if 
you want to have support for the extension pc as well.

I know this has been closed as invalid but I believe that this is a defect.
cppcheck correctly analyses .pc (Pro*C) files out of the box via the command 
line or via its GUI. 
I can see that it is not listed in the extension list, a copy of the cppcheck 
source was downloaded and this file extension was added to the list and 
cppcheck was recompiled, the new cppcheck executable ran as expected outside of 
eclipse on .cpp , .c and .pc files. When returning to eclispe and pointing the 
plugin to the newly compiled executable it still did not analyse .pc files.
