The "shortc" program posted a while ago is very nice, if you
have a preprocessor that can handle long identifiers.
If you don't, then use m4 with a macro file generated by the
following modification to shortc:
194,195c194,195
< printf("#define %s %s%s\n", y->inname,
< y->prefix, y->inname);
---
> printf("define(`%s',`ifelse($#,0,%s%s,%s%s($*))')\n",
> y->inname, y->prefix, y->inname, y->prefix, y->inname);
At the end of the m4 macro file include the following text:
(either put it into the end of dump() in shortc.c, or add it
after the rest is generated.)

/* This is a dummy line for sed to rip off */
(i.e. for file in *.[ch] do ; m4 short.out $file >tmp && mv tmp $file ; done)
Thanks to Tony Hansen for this one.
