(Haven't tried to compile it, but I think there is an error in answer 
#5, the this pointer must be cast to VTable* before calling).

C is reasonably close to OO thanks to its structs. Most language 
constructs of C++ can be directly converted into C with just some more 
typing effort. You will have problems with exceptions (setjump?), 
templates (macros?) and RTTI.
