After hearing the arguments on the list I too formed an opinion about
the matter, my preference list is:
- flashrom_ (the lib prefix is redundant IMHO, lot of libraries omit
it in the API, e.g.: libglib, libgtk);
- libflashrom_ (I would tolerate it, it's still better than cryptic
prefixes);
and maybe one I didn't see:
- libfr_ (flash-rom is two words, so "fr" as abbreviation makes sense,
but there's really no need to be so concise).
Ciao ciao,
Antonio
