No one has done this and I don't think this would be all that useful.
When you consider that many front ends (specifically that for Ada) use
features that aren't expressable in C (most notably discriminated
records), that C that would have to be produced would correspond a lot
more to an *interpreter* of the program than a compilation of it.
It might be an interesting exercise to do something like this, but I
don't think it would be as beneficial as you think.
