I usually use the underscore
convention for C source files just because there is a tradition to use
In GNU, the tradition is the opposite: we typically use dashes in
filenames, not underscores. This has been the case since rms
implemented the first GNU programs. (Of course, there are GNU packages
that use _'s; we don't insist on such a minor detail.)
As I recall, the original reason is because _ needs the shift key and -
doesn't :) (typically).
Anyway, I suggest GNU PDF follow this and use -'s in filenames. There
is no portability problem with it.
