Using the extern keyword on function prototypes is superfluous
visual noise so suggest removing it.

Using extern can cause unnecessary line wrapping at 80 columns
and unnecessarily long multi-line function prototypes.

Nak.

The "extern" makes it much easier to pick out at a glance.

Really? Grouping function prototypes within the header file is much more 
helpful for spotting them.

Please standardise on there _being_ externs if you must do this.

It's gratuitous change anyway and not worth the churn.
