>> What would be the primary use of such converter?

It would be a way to get a subset of C++ on a CPU that didn't have
any available c++ compilers due to difficulties in parts of the compiler
that you weren't really interested in anyway.  Convert c++ to c, then
compile with your favorite C compiler and implement only those run-time
functions that you absolutely MUST have.  For instance, the function
overloading that I claimed to like seems to happen as a pretty trivial
renaming of functions to include additional info about the argument  
list,
so that "foo(char *, int)" becomes "foo_cp_i" and "foo(char *, double)"
becomes "foo_cp_df"
