   The problem is that the Win32 PE format does only support section names
   up to 8 characters 

Not true.  There is only room for 8 chars in the struct,
but if there are more than 8 chars then "/number" is
stored there which is an offset into the string table.

See the Microsoft Portable Executable and Common Object File Format
Specification 4.1, section 4, Section Table.
