Would it work to just compile your C sources with a C++ compiler?

/* Foo.c
 */

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

#include "Foo.h"  /* These function names will not be mangled */

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

#ifdef __cplusplus
namespace tag1{
#endif

void foo( int bar )
{
  getDownAndBoogie();

  return;
}

#ifdef __cplusplus
} /* namespace tag1 */
#endif

Some creative macro definitions could make that look less ugly.
