Ok, so we're back to my original example: the problem here is not the non-ASCII encoding but the non-english identifiers. If we move the problem to a pure unicode naming problem: How likely is it that it's *you* (lacking a native, say, kanji keyboard) who ends up with code that uses identifiers written in kanji? And that you are the only person who is now left to do the switch to an ASCII transliteration? Any chance there are still kanji-enabled programmes around that were not hit by the bomb in this scenario? They might still be able to help you get the code "public".
