Often, portable code is delivered in one text - e.g. the BLAS bindings.

The gnatchop utility splits it into files with long or short names,
depending on the OS. But it is not clear to me if it would be
possible for C/C++ (is it possible to determine where is the end of
an "unit", or is it just a sequence of functions and variables ?)

Well I see - forget my suggestion...
