There is no way to ask a C/C++ compiler to allow keywords as variable
names.  So if you are using a C++ compiler, you must change the names.
(Or play macro games, as Dennis says.  But that is a dirty game. :-)

If you are using the "C header" in pure C programs, you can compile it
using a C-only compiler.  With aCC, you can use the -Ae option to make
it behave like a C-only compiler.  Or use /opt/ansic/bin/cc to compile
C-only programs.
