gcc can compile K&R, but the language has

the comp.lang.c news groups in the early 1980's.
That makes things a challenge. Still the source of the kernel is
around 10K lines IIRC and going through it in stages doesnt make life

Doesn't one of the C beautifiers do that for you (rewrite =+ etc.)
Either GNU indent or Berkeley? cb.
