There have been some recent mentions of object oriented programming 'by hand'
in C:

I am interested in pointers to information (books, articles, etc.) concerning
this method of implementing objected oriented designs.  Our development
environment is very much C based and the migration to object based analysis
and design appears difficult enough without adding the problems of setting
up a new implementation environment.

Also, I am very interested in the experiences/impressions of those who are
currently using (or have used) C to implement objected oriented designs.

Thanks,
Kyle.
