I am looking for C routines to reverse names, i.e.,
   "John Paul Smith" -> "Smith, John Paul"

and to convert full names to initials + last names, i.e.,
   "John Paul Smith" -> "J. P. Smith"

I would like to find "smart" routines that can handle
less common cases
(e.g. do something reasonable with "Wen-Bin Chu", "John Smith, Jr.").
