There are now tools called "Kalyptus"and "Smoke" in the kdebindings module of the kde.org CVS server, which is used to generate several language bindings, none of which is C, but one of which is Smoke. In the smoke directory it looks like there are now conversions for both Qt and KDE.

I was just tossed this link:
"C Mania: KDE 3 Offers C Bindings"
http://dot.kde.org/1003877941/
Somehow, C++ was automatically wrapped with C and mostly worked.
Creating a C layer seems to be half the problem, so I've been asking on
comp.lang.c++.moderated about automated C wrappers.

Unfortunately, those bindings are over three years old, and despite the claim of being generated automatically, are continually becoming stale and rarely work. There are now tools called "Kalyptus"and "Smoke" in the kdebindings module of the kde.org CVS server, which is used to generate several language bindings, none of which is C, but one of which is Smoke. In the smoke directory it looks like there are now conversions for both Qt and KDE. So maybe the pieces are all there now.
