What are good libraries for C with datastructures like vectors, deques, stacks, hashmaps, treemaps, sets, etc.? Plain C, please, and platform-independent.

C can't have an "exact equivalent" of STL because C doesn't have templates or classes. You might be interested in the "Glib collections" library: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/tutorials/l-glib/
C Vector Library A simple vector library for C. This libary's vectors work in a similar manner to C++ vectors: they can store any type, their elements can be accessed via the [] operator, and elements may be added or removed with simple library calls.
Both C++ and Java have libraries that let us implement common data structures. C++ has STL, the Standard Template Library, and Java has the Collections classes.
The Glib library used on the Gnome project may also be some use. Moreover it is pretty well tested.
IBM developer works has a good tutorial on its use: Manage C data using the GLib collections
