Something like that was indeed my first thought, but I'm pretty certain
it would require the html to be well-formed, which is far from
guaranteed :-(  
I also took a quick look at beautifulsoup, but I still need a C or C++
interface.  Essentially I'm looking for something that will provide a
function:

int html2text( char *in, char *out );

It might be feasible or even easier to simply write something to strip
out html tags, I'm still contemplating that.
