To #include<iostream.h> you need a file called "iostream.h", which has
been deprecated for a while. I guess the following hack would work, but
I haven’t actually tried it.

1. Create a directory, say /home/user/include
2. Create a file iostream.h in the directory containing

#ifndef IOSTREAM_H
#define IOSTREAM_H
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
#endif

3. Compile with the flag -I/home/user/include

Then if your C++ header has #include<iostream.h> in it, it should read
iostream instead and put its definitions in the global namespace.

Personally I would rather update the C++ code. But I guess it depends on
on your needs.
