ergo, the command line:

for file in *.c ; do convert_file_to_sjis $file; done
for file in *.c ; do highbytes2constants.pl $file; done

convert_file_to_sjis()
{
   iconv -f whatever -t sjis < $1 > $1.converted
   mv $1 $1.bak
   mv $1.converted $1
}

etc...

If your C code is anywhere near that limit it has problems, even bloating
the constants out. You must have some really strange code.
Even then, its not too hard to insert some newlines with a script.
