Hello Dan and Greg,

Dan you are correct it is a bit of a hodge podge :)
I think that it is better to have a bigger patches that will rename
more functions, but I don't this it is good to have all the
functions renamed in one patch.

Just in the header file I counted around 55 function definitions,
and in the source files there are some more.
So that will make one huge patch.

And I am not sure if the maintainers will be OK with reviewing it.

So my sugestion is to have a bigger patches.
For example, one patch with 10 to 15 subpatches.
And one subpatch will rename one function and
update the occurrences in the driver.

This way with like 5 iterations all the functions will be renamed.

If you have a better solution please tell.

Grt,
Samuil
