Perhaps using swig (http://www.swig.org) would be the way forward... that is
if swig supports the other language that you're working with.

See http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/cc/articles/mixing.html
Look for Accessing C++ Classes From C.
It is possible... whether pratical/impratical is another question/matter of
opinion.

BTW, is there any documentation on how to (ab)use the cvsapi and/or cvsfs?
