BCrypt is really not as common as it could be, but there is a Stackoverflow question on What's the recommended Bcrypt C implementation? that will point you to Openwall's crypt_blowfish.

I would also note that the single most useful Google result is, in fact, this question. In particular, the Crypto++ library still has BCrypt on their planned features list.

Don't forget to increase the work factor above 12 or 14 when you use it!

Once you have a working implementation, if you'd like to give a reasonable open source license, I'd be happy to include it in my Github repository to provide an alternative to PBKDF2 examples!
