Have you been following the C BASIC project Charles fostered? The C BASIC project was a direct result of Charles C emitter efforts for O2.  

Charles contributed an object based String class library which I haven't implemented yet. The last I heard is that Charles is working on an expression parser to make the library more BASIC like when using C BASIC as a helper to C programming.

A high level C emitter /translator will be the first, but I won't give a timescale. (Prophecy is a risky business :))

Dynamic strings and other objects require the most attention, and we already have a small source library to manage strings with a BASIC string function set. The C emitter will be closely aligned with C BASIC, producing human-readable C that will compile with GCC and other compilers like Visual-C.
