Why duplicate symbols in 1.0.1 and not 1.0 ???

One method would be to replace each name by its checksum.
For example, in Perl:

 s/\w+/length($&) <= 20 ? $& : "_" . unpack "%32C*", $&/eg

So, a name like `purple__15Yellow__tm__2_iFv_Z1Z' becomes
`_2959'.

Demangling is a little trickier, though...
