Yeah, that's why I wouldn't really consider a pure-C port. At least  
it wouldn't be my first choice ;)

Well, sorta. Java maps relatively well to ObjC, probably because of  
history. There are various things
one needs to consider, but I'm going through most of them with the  
ObjC runtime, so I figure doing a
ST port in ObjC sounds like more work than it actually is. Still a  
fair amount of work, testing and such
but I want to support template output for ANTLR, so I don't really  
have a choice.
