c-mode doesn't support the cweb language, and won't do that, either.

It might make sense to add a package for doing that to ELPA, but I
haven't seen anybody request that either, so it seems like there's not
really much demand for it.

In any case, I don't think there's anything actionable here on the
Emacs side, so I'm closing this bug report.
