I'd prefer it if the file names stayed the same, otherwise that will break the Pd-extended stuff. The code in externals/sigpack is setup in the way sigpack was in its previous release, and in a way that's that everything else in CVS is. AFAIK, there are no libs in CVS that have prefixes like "sp_" in the filename.
If I understand this correctly, the sigpack externals in CVS now behave differently and have different names than the externals on Martin's page? I don't like this, it is something that should be avoided, IMO, unless there is a very good reason, so this should be sorted out somehow.
They should behave exactly the same, since the code is exactly same. The prefix to the name is the only difference.
Since the sp_ prefix is a recent switch for Martin AFAIK, I hope I can convince everyone that its a bad thing with the namespaces, or at best unnecessary. If people want the lib with prefixes, that's fine, and my proposed changes will accommodate both ways of working quite cleanly. I just hope that Martin will accept them.
