I went to a talk in April '87, where Jim Gimpel (the fellow who wrote
C-terp) described a system for doing exactly this - converting readable
C code to obfuscated code for the purposes of source distribution.

It was definitely written by that time because he showed some
examples.  Oddly, though, I've never seen any advertisements for it
since then.
