What do people do about the long names of many pieces of X on
systems (like System V) that do not support long names?
Presumably they shorten them. Does everybody use the same short name?
How about a shell script to do the fixes in some standard way.
Just getting them off the tar tape is a super pain as many of them
fall on top of each other.
