For typical C sources: yes. But if there is executable inline code in a
header file, this scheme would break.
source.c --> source.bb
source.h --> source.bb
This would happen especially often for C++ code with all those class
inline methods. OTOH, there's not much else one could do (short of
creating subdirectories and writing filenames like 'bb/source.c',
'bbg/source.c' and the like).
