I, too, am working on such a utility.  But, I am not stuck with ANSI C.
At the moment I'm using _dos_findfirst() etc.  The program digs around
in files, including zip, arc, zoo (and more) archive files, looking for
matches.  At the moment it will handle only specific file names.  When
I get far enough along, I'll probably resort to using lex to do pattern
matching.
