Wow. I don't think that can be done in a sincere sense.
I think gcc (and certainly other C compilers) have an option that
automatically add function prototypes. This is pretty easy but ANSI
simply allows prototypes and doesn't require them. Since you are
eventually going to g++ then you will need them and I hope that is
what you meant by this question.
In general, converting any K&R program to ANSI C automatically will
run into some rough spots particularly in the preprocessor. Some
cpp behaviors that were assumed to be in K&R (but never  were 
really) are different in ANSI C. Maybe someone has a converter that
has fixed some of these kinds of problems but probably not all.
