Please find attached a C implementation
of Bjarne Stroustrup's famous Shape class.

Your approach is similar to the results of my experiments with OO in
C. You can increase encapsulation when you only forward declare your
structs (e.g. struct Shape) in the header files. Also some functions
(e.g. actualShape_draw) can be removed form the header and made
'private', i.e. static, in the respecive *.c file.
