Hm. I'd prefer a consistent rule for the complete code base because
code tends to move between daemons and the library. Personally, I
don't think that name clashes between HIPL code and other code will
ever be a big problem which is why I'm not a big fan of hip_ (which
should be hipl_, anyway) but then that's just my gut feeling. But this
is nothing too important - I'm fine with any rule, including the one
you suggest above.

As soon as HACKING is updated, I'll update the code in my branches, too.
