I realize this is not of direct interest to this group, but I was not sure
of the 'right' one.  Moderator please feel free to bounce this or forward to
an appropriate newsgroup.


I have a requirement to take lots (many hundreds of thousands of lines) of
C code and crunch it down to the smallest size possible that would build
correctly.  Among the things I anticipate doing are: Stripping off comments
and blank lines, rearranging indentation, replacing variable and function
names by short but unique names, and so on.

I have no desire to reinvent the wheel.  Is there such a filter that anyone
out there knows of?  Source availability would be important.

E-Mail preferred, I will post a summary of responses if there is interest.
