I originally named maths.h math.h :)
I would have done that without further thought if we didn't have to be
DOS compatible (eg 8 characters). Prefixing with, eg, "al" only leaves
6 characters to name a file. Given that they are only accessable by
prepending "allegro/" to them, I thought this should be more than
enough to make them unlikely to conflict with other headers. That's
why I like directories :) But If you still think prefixing is better,
I'll do it.
