I aggree with Nick's point.

I ported a very large piece of ray-tracing software written on a Sun in C,
and to quote Nick, the port was "pretty immediate". The chap who wrote the
raytracer developed extremely "clean" C. The quality of the original software
dictates the speed of porting more any other factor.
