ScripDuplicating directory structure !

Question

I have a following directory structure for my code containing *.c ad *.h files and some configuration and build files generated by automake & autoconf I want to copy only the *.c and *.h files into new directory structure like this

testdir/
├── subtest1
│   └── subtest11
│       ├── test111.c
│       └── test111.h
└── subtest2
    └── test.c

newtestdir/ <--------------------- ONLY THIS DIRECTORY IS CHANGED !!
├── subtest1
│   └── subtest11
│       ├── test111.c
│       └── test111.h
