One way is to use the # operator of the C preprocessor (that makes a string
out of a symbol).

Another way (perhaps more what you are searching for) has been used in
Freetype 1: a function in an extension has been written to "translate"
error number to simple error messages.
Look after lib/extend/ftxerr18.[hc], or in CVS 
http://cvs.freetype.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/freetype/lib/extend/ftxerr18.c


Hope it helps,

Antoine
