I don't see why modifying the C code is such a problem.  I would create a 
proper external parsed entity, by using sed to replace all the dangerous 
characters.  Assuming you only have to worry about ampersands and angle 
brackets, that would look like:
    sed "s/&/\&amp;/g; s/</\&lt;/g; s/>/\&gt;/g" source.c > source.c.xml


Then, use source.c.xml, instead of source.c.  If you use a makefile to build 
your document, you could codify this into a rule, so that it would 
automatically get rerun, every time source.c was modified.  FSF (The Free 
Software Foundation) has very good documentation for GNU Make, on their web 
site (fsf.org).


If you use windows, you can get UNIX tools (such as sed and make) via the 
free "cygwin" package, available from RedHat (just search for it, on their 
site).
