I'm not thrilled about the idea of lots of similarly named files
(eg 'interface.c')... I'd rather eliminate the sub-directory, though I'm not
keen on that idea either..
I have thought about having mib2c 'compress' the file names (eg
xST_interface.c), but just never bothered to figure out how to do that in
mib2c.
