Probably.
But Windows is meant to be a supported platform.

Nope - not in the slightest!

The other contributory factor is that there's a lot of duplication in
this naming
system - particularly with the multi-level directory structure. If
you've got a
table xxxxSomeTable, then the files will typically be called
some-mib/xxxSomeTable/xxxSomeTable.....
which immediately almost doubles the length of the filenames!
(Well, not quite doubles, but you know what I mean).
I certainly like the idea of shortening (or omitting) some of this duplication.
One possibility might be to drop the table name from the lower-level files
(or replace it with a much shorter prefix). Giving something like:
some-mib/xxxSomeTable/{table,data_access,interface}.[ch]
And perhaps the "user-editable" code could be moved up a level,
giving:
some-mib/xxxSomeTable.c (for main developer-tweakable code)
some-mib/xxxSomeTable/{interface,data_access}.[ch]
(though the data_access file is probably more in need of tweaking
than anything else, I suspect!)
