The s300 ANSI C compiler product includes an ANSI lint and cxref (and cflow
which comes for free because it calls the lint front end).  The lint
is produced from the same sources as the compiler (thus accepting ANSI syntax).
In addition, lint has been enhanced to detect silent ANSI changes and to
check prototype consistency and to check for lack of function prototypes.

ANSI versions of lint and cxref are not available with HP-UX 7.0 series 800,
but are planned for the future.
