Bad naming convention

[Andrew van der Stock]

In past projects, where C has been used, we've gone for C++ like constructs:

globals are prefixed such as

	gLog
	g_log

And struct elements are done like:

	mLog
	m_log

And local (stack) variables are done like:

	lVar
	l_var

I'd suggest reading Code Complete*, pp 196-213, ignoring the Hungarian
section even though Steve McConnell and I agree that it is awful. I am not
into all that Hungarian notation hooplah. The compiler should be type
checking for you, not the programmer blearly reading the variable name at 3
am with far too few coffees. One bad cast and it's all wasted anyway.
