I think the main option for parsing C now is the c2hs parser -- there's
a summer of code project to wrap it up as a suitable C manipulation,
printing and parsing library, so we should see a good standalone
solution in a few months.

Will it be delivered with good documentation? ;-)

This is /very/ interesting for me and my job (what I'm talking about above is not for work though). I would love to see something that would allow me to spend more time using Haskell while being paid for it :-)
