   Comments are irrelevant because they aren't translated;  if someone   
   wants to use trigraphs (or digraphs) for curly braces inside a   
   comment they are perfectly free to do so.   
      
   Header names can be handled by copying or linking the file with a   
   new name, where the new name has <% and %> in place of curly braces.   
      
   String literals and character constants are a mild inconvenience,   
   but nothing more than that - just four #define of symbols with   
   appropriate values.  Once those values are determined it should be   
   straightforward to effect the necessary changes programmatically.
