Its not just mkdef.pl its also the err_genc.pl script that uses this
stuff to translate the error codes into function names (but its a bit
broken because it only looks in one header file). Parsing the NOPROTO
sections is very easy because its all of the form:
some_type func_name();
all on one line. The parsing just picks up the last word before the
opening '('. Parsing an ANSI multi-line prototype is quite a bit harder.
I'm not against removing the NOPROTO stuff but it would need a working
mkdef.pl and err_genc.pl first.
