To include program text with funny characters into DocBook, I use the
following:

<!ENTITY test SYSTEM "something.c">

...

<programlisting>
<![RCDATA[&test;]]>
</programlisting>

This will paste the contents of the file (with all the funny characters
magically translated to character entities) during parsing, before
formatting, so all the stylesheet features, such as line numbering,
callouts, etc. work.  This is unlike the <inlinegraphic entityref="...">
solution, where substitution happens during formatting.
