I did mean headers, not C source... But C source is also interesting to 
convert of course
I wonder if the Quake to Delphi and Doom To Delphi folks wrote tools for 
conversion, or used existing ones to do the bulk of the work.  If 
superman was involved, they likely did it by hand 100 percent the hard 
way, but if they are A.I. then they have no hands, likely.
