Actually I once had to do exactly those 2 first steps with the POV-Ray
1.0 source in order to compile and link it on a platform that only
supported 8-byte external names. I actually made a program do the
conversion and while the resulting source compiled and ran it
definitely wasn't in human-readable form anymore (even though I'd kept
the comments intact).
