  The fact that the language doesn't directly support modules (and that's
what we are talking about here; you have so far mentioned no truely OO
programming feature) it doesn't mean that you can't use structures as if
they were modules.
  You can have member variables and member functions (either you just call
the proper function giving the struct as parameter, as C++ internally does,
or you put function pointers inside the struct).
  This, of course, looks ugly, but when used properly it makes little
difference compared to a truely modular language (like C++).

  And I would like to emphasize that you keep talking about object-oriented
programming, and still you haven't mentioned ANY feature of object-oriented
languages (inheritance, dynamic binding, overloading...). You just keep
talking about modules.
  For your information, the povray source code even uses some kind of
inheritance (and even dynamic binding, I think), which makes it very OO-like.
It looks ugly in C, but it does it.
