For such an search-and-replace you would need a search-and-replace with the
option to use regular expressions since you will not know the right side of the
declarations. Such as replace "#declare = [any characters to end of line]" by
"#declare = [same characters to end of line];" and in addition you have to
distinguish between declarations of floats, vectors and strings, which needs an
semicolon, and other declarations such as arrays, which needs no semicolon. I
think this will not be easy to implement since you will need context-sensitivity
as well. I know an application with regular expression search and replace (The
Statistical Analysis Software, SAS) but no one with context sensitivity in
addition.

This may be, I remember to have some difficulties to find them myself one or two
years ago. But finally I found them but never used this one so far. But there
are more broken links within the POV resources (I remember only the loss of
gems.inc and I had some problems to find the Java-version of TomTree by Genady
Obukhov, which is still available at a somewhat mysterious mirror side).

Best regards,
