Sounds like you would be an almost ideal user for Jekyll.  Too bad
it's only in the alpha stages:

http://jekyllc.sourceforge.net/

You might find it useful to study how Haskell's familiar product and
sum types would be represented in unfamiliar C.  If I recall correctly
you can find examples of the translation in the Jekyll
presentations/documentation.  So even if you never used it, it would
be a worthwhile read.

Good luck,
Jason
