Name: Synapse_C
Purpose: The base C implementation of the Synapse class. A Synapse is a connection between a Compartment and a target Dynamics. When an action potential fires in the compartment the acceptor method of the target Dyanmics is called.

Constructor: Synapse_C(c, d) where c is a Cell or Compartment object. If c is a Cell the connection is made from the first compartment in the Cell. d is the target Dynamics.
