I would like to locate a tool (or at least suggestions on what all to put into
a tool) which, given a piece of C code, would attempt to determine
what system header files are not included which should be.

For instance, if the C code refers to errno, but does not include
errno.h, the tool would list errno.h as one of the 'missing' headers.

This tool would be used as C code was being moved into the ANSI
environment to be sure that all of the various include files are
present.  I know that I have code for instance which uses
strcpy(), etc. without including string.h , and so forth.
