I used to build protoize/unprotoize all the time while I was working at
Alcatel; the programs helped me a lot in migrating lots of K&R code to
ANSI-C. But, this was sometimes in 1994... I didn't use it since.
Might actually be a good idea to create a separate package. If nobody
objects (and I'll find some time ;-), I'll create a patch.
