Dug a bit deeper.

The loader that was spoken of is CascadeClassifier class and its load() method.
Looking at it i see that it first tries to load the cascade via a combination
of a FileStorage object and the method read() of CascadeClassifier itself
(which leafs through the nodes) and if that fails, then it falls back to
cvLoad().

AFAICS, there's no C equivalent for this.

The detection method for CascadeClassifier is detectMultiScale(). Internally it
calls cvHaarDetectObjectsForROC() for old-style cascades, which is what
gstfacedetect calls (indirectly; it calls cvHaarDetectObjects(), which just a
convenience wrapper for cvHaarDetectObjectsForROC()).

If converting gstfacedetect to C++ is acceptable, it shouldn't be too hard.
