I use ruby to script vim whenever I get the chance.  I have two such
scripts posted at vim.sf.net.  One will parse C/C++ header files (only
C++ is 'supported', but it works for most what I have seen in C) and
generate highlighting for your classes, structs and typedefs.  The other
is pretty new and is under development, but you can play with it if you
want.  It generates C++ code templates.  Right now it only works for
creating a .cpp file from whatever exists in the corresponding .h file.
I plan to add to it, so that it will update one from the other.  Since I
*hate* it when my header and cpp files get out of sync.  Anyway here are
the links to those scripts.

The Highlighter:
http://vim.sourceforge.net/script.php?script_id=274

The template generator:
http://vim.sourceforge.net/script.php?script_id=493

I find that what I usually do is write a ruby script that runs from the
command line then, I make a vimscript function that calls that script.
I use ruby in vim for everything I can, wait, I use ruby for everything
I can.  :)  I find that ruby's text processing is far simpler than is
vimscript's.  Not to mention, ruby is a lot more capable language than
vimscript.
