It can be done, because UML is not just class diagram. For example you can
take state diagrams to describe algorithms. Also think of the abstract
datatype concept in C. It was introduced before OOP came up. Also take a
look at the GNOME project, they use C in an object oriented way. In the end
you can do everything with a programming language. The question is just if
it is the best solution to use C for object oriented programming.
