There are lots of stand-alone "lint"-type programs that could help,
both before and after f2c conversion, and many compilers have flags
that are useful as well. A quick google for [fortran lint] gave
several useful-sounding utilities for the fortran side of things.
After conversion to C, there's the usual "lint", and gcc has family of
-Wunused* and other flags that can help (do these also work in the
for gcc-derived fortran compilers?).
