DMC++ matches the Microsoft name mangling scheme, which includes such 
compression. It proved hopelessly inadequate, which is why I implemented 
compress.c in the first place (it was for the DMC++ compiler).

(And frankly, I don't see how an ad-hoc scheme like that could hope to compare 
with a real compression algorithm.)
