Has anyone put together a "crib sheet" of the changes between K&R and ANSI C?
I'm thinking of something to use as a checklist while doing a conversion of a
K&R-style compiler to an ANSI one.  The list needn't contain any details - the
text of the standard is there for that.  I want something to use to plan out
a conversion project.  What's most important is to ensure that nothing gets
left out.

The changes necessary for ANSI support are many, and scattered throughout
just about every module of a pre-processor/compiler and run time support
system.  Putting together such a list would be a laborious undertaking, and
I'm too lazy to want to repeat someone else's efforts in this direction!
