Only those that should be ".S" files should be renamed.

Then I'd vote for making all our ".c" files to use C++ comments and
rename them to ".C".  That would make as much sense.

We've been mis-naming some of our ASM files.  I am trying to change that.
The files should be named properly.  If they need to be run thru the C
pre-processor/cc then they should be .S files.  If not, they should be
named .s files.  I don't care if some can't keep the extention straight.
How do people keep straight .c and .C then?
