I just tried to look at it and it's currently over my head how to fix
this properly as:
a) both files (packet-ocsd.c and packet-x509af.h are generated files
b) Their spec files contain variables of the same name.

Ronnie: Would prefixing all static vars with the name of the protocol
(e.g. OCSD) make sense (e.g. Version -> OCSDVersion)? If so, could someone
who knows the asn2eth.py script fix this?
Hmm, maybe prefixing non-static Vars would be useful too??

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
