I gave it a (very brief) attempt.  It blew up on several files (you know,
"compiler error") and on the ones it didn't blow up on, it mentioned that
it was truncating variable names to some maximum length I can't remember. 
I don't think the variable name length truncation is a problem, but I
couldn't be sure.
