Why don't you use mtc?

NAME
mtc - Modula-2 to C translator
DESCRIPTION
Mtc translates Modula-2 programs in readable and therefore
maintainable K&R C code without major restrictions (even
nested procedures and modules). The translator is largely
generated using the GMD compiler construction toolbox. It
contains semantic analysis as far as needed for the task.
Semantic analysis is rather complete and comprises scope
handling, name analysis, and type determination. Context
conditions are not checked, as it is assumed that only
correct programs are processed. Mtc translates Modula-2 as
defined in "N. Wirth: Programming in Modula-2, Third
Corrected Edition, Springer-Verlag, 1985".
RESTRICTIONS
Coroutines are not implemented yet.
Comments are lost.
