The DJGPP FAQ list (v2/faq210b.zip from the same place you get DJGPP)
has one solution in section 8.3.  Excerpt:

  The following Sed command will convert a C program with C++-style
  comments into a valid C source, provided you don't have the string
  "//" in a character string:

      sed "s?//\(.*\)?/*\1 */?" file.c > newfile.c

  Sed can be found in the DJGPP distribution:
  ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/sed118b.zip.

A program named `protoize' which is part of the GCC distribution can
add prototypes to a C program.  Unfortunately, the DJGPP port of GCC
doesn't include `protoize', but you can probably find it on other
systems, like Linux, or even port it yourself if you feel motivated
enough.

I don't understand what do you mean by ``alphabetize a file of
functions''.  Please explain.
