I don't know if this is the problem, but one thing which would make it more
difficult is if some of the include files have long names. Then source code
changes would be necessary, possibly in many places. One possibility would be
a preprocessor to adjust names in #include statements. (I thought about using
command line args: -Dlongfilename=shrtname, but the C preprocessor won't do
this.)
