I am not at all sure this *can* be fixed in any sensible way.  The best we
could probably do is fix gjavah to emit

  static void xy__U_ser();

instead of

  static void xy__User();

This is slightly unpleasant, but at least it's tolerable.

I'm not really sure that it's worth doing, though.

Andrew.
