6 character external identifiers

I can live with 6 character names:  I'll just run programs I want
to be ``portable'' through another program that finds identifiers
that aren't unique to 6 characters, and replaces them with new
made up ones that are.  For example,

	int ReplaceString () { ... }
	int ReplaceChar () { ... }

would turn into

	int _1ReplaceString () { ... }
	int _2ReplaceChar () { ... }

Remember, identifiers can be arbitrarily long; it's just that some
of the characters might be ignored.
