Ray, we left this unanswered, it seems.

ViewVC+Pygments is largely going to be using MIME type determinations to
figure out what kind of syntax coloration to perform, falling back to a
filename-based lexer decision only when the mimetype-based decision comes up
short.  Where does the MIME type come from?  Well, CVS[NT] doesn't store a
MIME type for files like Subversion can, so ViewVC will consult MIME type
mapping files (those shipped with Python, and/or those configured for use
with ViewVC via the mime_types_files configuration option) to map a filename
(based on its extension) to a MIME type.  Your system is probably not
highlighting C files because it either isn't finding a MIME type mapping for
 the '.c' extension, or because it's finding a mapping that Pygments doesn't
recognize.  (According to the Pygments docs, their C lexer is going to get
pulled up only for "text/x-chdr" and "text/x-csrc" MIME types.)

You can add custom mappings for these MIME types to ViewVC's own
mimetypes.conf file if you want to affect only ViewVC's behavior (versus
changing your system's MIME mapping files).  See the examples at the top of
that file.
