     I am sending two test datasets - one contains variables with slovenian

One of the problems that manifests itself with the test_variables.sav
file is caused by Pspp's somewhat strict rules about what it considers
to be a valid variable name.

If I change the implementation of var_is_valid_name to a very
promiscuous {return true;} then this problem goes away.  This function
is only used in three files:

 src/data/por-file-reader.c
 src/data/sys-file-reader.c
 src/ui/gui/psppire-dict.c

I think it exists mainly for historical reasons.  Can we get rid of
it?
