Does the original mitabc_test program work for you? Hopefully you didn't 
just call mitab_c_write_feature() by itself in your program, that would 
definitely not work.

If you look at function WriteFile() in mitabc_test.c, you'll see that to 
write data to a TAB file you need to first call mitab_c_create(), then 
add fields, create features, write them to the dataset, and finally 
close the file.
