Why does it need to be a C language interface? There are wrappers in 
Perl and Shell and PHP. I guess technically you could write a C

You may want to take a look at the KDevelop code or WWWWoffle, which 
use ht://Dig internally. I must admit I haven't taken a look at what 
they do to call ht://Dig, but they may provide ideas for you.
