Yes, why not.

Exactly. We were initially in the dark, why i.atcorr didn't come up
while no error was reported.

GDAL uses .cpp. Also others - a quick local poll on my dev machine:

[neteler at north ~]$ locate '.cpp' | wc -l
14213
[neteler at north ~]$ locate '.cc' | wc -l
834
[neteler at north ~]$ locate '.cxx' | wc -l
672

I'd vote for .cc|.cxx -> .cpp
