[AD] Naming conventions for OS specific functions

[Colin Ward <lists@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all.

I've added a function to the Amiga specific version of Allegro so that
clients can query the version of the .so it resides in.  When I say
"version" I mean the Amiga version.  My friend ports games and he finds
problems (as it is a new port) so I fix them.  So we want to put checks in
at the start of ported games to make sure a new enough version of the
library is available.  ie.  Game X doesn't work with version 1.0 of the
Amiga liballegro.so but it does work with version 1.1, so we want to put a
check in to make sure that the user has a new enough version.  The function
I added for this is:

unsigned int al_get_sobj_version();

Where the upper word contains the major version and the lower word contains
the minor version.

So what I was wondering is whether there are any conventions to the naming
of OS specific functions like this?
