I don't think, this applies to sigpack anyway, as it already can be
compiled both ways, even with prefix "sp_", thanks to the recent
changes I did and which Martin accepted, and it's not a very intrusive
change, so every user can make his/her own choice if to compile as
single or as library.

There are some "prior art" examples of prefixed externals, like "pdp_"
or "k_", or "rrad." This really is a matter of taste and IMO the taste
of the original author is, what should be respected as guideline in
this regard. (I'll probably drop the "rrad." in the future and switch
to directory/geiger namespaces, but Kjetil should keep his "k_" and
martin his "sp_", if they want to.)

Regarding the directory names being in miXed case: I think, we never
talked about a guideline for this, but I would suggest we do? 

I would vote for using only lowercase names for (toplevel)
directories, overriding author's tastes. ;) Lets vote!!

Ciao
