I have one that does do nested procedures and functions.  It came off of
usenet a few years ago (2,3?) in comp.sources.unix I believe.  It is in
Pascal, (there was a C version posted, which was the pascal version run on
itself), and produced pretty bizarre looking code compared to what p2c
produces, but it did do nested procedures, variant records, pascal I/O, etc.
