I've read this more than once now in this thread.  I've got to believe 
that it's a claim from those already knowing C.  To some extent, I ain't 
buying it.  Of course, Marc would have to be able to read the C code to 
know what it's doing.  But writing, no way.

Not that I recommend re-writing.  If the code works, one doesn't have to 
know C to compile and link it.
