Thanks Walter, for not using that.  Personally, I think Walter did the mostly right thing; but I understand most of us prefer Linux over windows and don't like feeling less capitalized.

Don't worry.  With Virtual Iron 3.5 out, Windows is practically a goner.  Highly recommended.

Indeed. I'm often confused by those unpredictable underscores and capitals when writing C code.

Personally I agree with Carlos' opinion that version identifiers should be case insensitive, or there should be one single convention: either camel cased or adopting the corresponding macro in C. I'll appreciate camel case since the latter is often a mess.
