C quality somewhat depends on which version of C you're trying to remain compatible with (I'm guessing C89 due to Windows, though I could be wrong). Valgrind and other tracing tools are typically used. I'd take a look at what OpenOffice is doing for local examples (though they have a crazy build system last I heard), or the FSF, Linux, Xorg, FreeDesktop, GNOME, KDE, or other major users of C and C++.
On the modern front, it'd be interesting if it were written in Rust, though I don't know enough about the language to say if it's worth porting to eventually.
