Because non ascii program names like "schön" or "rømø" would get 
converted into a valid automake identifier. It never occured to me to 
name a binary with digits only. Perhaps a reasonable solution would be 
to prepend something if ToCIdentifier ends up with only underscores.

What does glade emit in front of _SOURCES? I'd like to use the same name 
but do not care that much of _this_ bug to investigate myself (there are 
more severe bugs at hand).

Patches are always loved! If you are able to fix this bug, please send a 
patch to me.
