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).

If you look in povray.unix, you'll find a custom version for Linux
systems.

But N0NE is.

Maybe we could do something with the source code and participate in an
obfuscated C contest?

Woohoo!!
Very minor quibble. It'd be nice to have the version in the file name.

In less than 500 characters?
OK, that's unrealistic, say less than 500KB :-)
