It appears that a C++ "a.out demangler" is one of those wheels that
gets reinvented over and over.  You might be interested in knowing
that such a tool already comes as part of the AT&T Standard Library
Extension product.  So far it works on:

1. Sun-3, Sun-4, Vax, 3B2, HP9000, Amdahl, 6386
2. SunOS 3+, SunOS 4+, SVR3, SVR4, HP-UX, and UTS.
3. AT&T C++ 2.0

As you can see, it understands COFF binaries.

So go buy the AT&T Standard Library Extension, and pay my salary today... :)
