This seems to do it, although you probably wanted something with a more
widespread interpreter:

#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
require 'find'

src = File.expand_path(ARGV[0])
dest = File.expand_path(ARGV[1])

Find.find(src) do |srcfile|
   destfile = srcfile.sub(src, dest)
   if FileTest.directory?(srcfile)
	Dir.mkdir(destfile) unless FileTest.exists?(destfile)
   elsif File.basename(srcfile) =~ /(.*)[.]([hc])/
	dir = File.dirname(destfile) + '/' + $2
	Dir.mkdir(dir) unless FileTest.exists?(dir)
	File.symlink(srcfile, dir + '/' + $1)
   else
	File.symlink(srcfile, destfile)
   end
end
