  >> how much overhead does a prototype bring to a program?

Zero.  It is information for the compiler - no storage or anything else is
defined unless you use the function referenced.  The method you suggest of
grouping a C does is the right one and the only overhead is the nth of a second
the compiler takes to read it!

Don't bother coding them all though it has been done - check
www.online-club.de/~Thomas.Raddatz/freeware.html and select the link
C-Prototypen - the pages are in German but it should give you a problem.
