About C on the FPGA:

http://www.xilinx.com/products/design_tools/logic_design/advanced/esl/index.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_system_level

On the Xcell magazine from Xilinx they justify this type of tools
saying "No one can program a whole new FPGA only using VHDL... it's
just too much" or something like that (referring with "new FPGA" a
Virtex 5)
