Are these usefull tools? What do they do? `protoize' takes a K&R-style source which lacks prototypes and generates a source where all function declarations and definitions have ANSI prototypes. It is IMHO invaluable when you have an old source which you must compile with -Wall to look for possible bugs or unsafe code. `unprotoize' does the opposite, which is nowadays not required too much, since most compilers support ANSI prototypes. The problem is that they won't work without porting due to the usual filename-related hassles and binary vs text I/O problems (I once ported an old version of them). Yet another item on my todo list, sigh...
