Erg. I forgot to look at cproto before deleting the BCC archive... :P

I've looked through the source... Well, more like glanced through it. I see
references to ANSI C, but I couldn't find much info beyond that. I *think*, if I
remember what I saw correcrly, that it runs the ANSI code through another
filter. This maybe something like an ANSI to K&R || BCC filter. I might parse
through it in more detail when I have more time, maybe over the weekend.

If this does indeed support ANSI C, then two things:

1st: Why the heck did we not pick up on this earlier? ;)
2nd: Why not pick up on this and update it for our needs?

-M.
