Answer 1

Sglib "is a generic library for C that was inspired by the Standard Template Library from C++"

Answer 2

You may interested in looking at qLibc.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qlibc http://www.qdecoder.org/qlibc/

It's a general purpose complete C/C++ library which includes all kinds of containers and general library routines.

Answer 3

I think Dave Hanson's C Interfaces and Implementations qualifies as both fast and elegant. It includes many different kinds of containers, some string processing, multiprecision arithmetic, exceptions, a couple of different memory managers. Nice stuff.

There's a book, but you don't need to buy it to use the software.
