[RFC] netfilter: Rename ipt_ECN.h to ipt_ecn_target.h (and similar) to avoid file name clash

["Pēteris Kļaviņš" <klavins@netspace.net.au>]

This is a request for comments on the proposal that the following 
filename changes (indicative at this point) be made in the netfilter 
source code tree, together with correcting the corresponding references 
to the files in both source code, the build system, and wherever else 
necessary.

The changes are proposed in order to avoid file name clashes on 
filesystems that do not allow two files to have names that differ only 
in the case of their letters:

include/linux/netfilter/xt_CONNMARK.h => xt_connmark_target.h
include/linux/netfilter/xt_DSCP.h => xt_dscp_target.h
include/linux/netfilter/xt_MARK.h => xt_mark_target.h
include/linux/netfilter/xt_RATEEST.h => xt_rateest_target.h
include/linux/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.h => xt_tcpmss_target.h
include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_CONNMARK.h => ipt_connmark_target.h
include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_DSCP.h => ipt_dscp_target.h
include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_ECN.h => ipt_ecn_target.h
include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_MARK.h => ipt_mark_target.h
include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_TCPMSS.h => ipt_tcpmss_target.h
include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_TOS.h => ipt_tos_target.h
include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_TTL.h => ipt_ttl_target.h
include/linux/netfilter_ipv6/ip6t_HL.h => ip6t_hl_target.h
include/linux/netfilter_ipv6/ip6t_MARK.h => ip6t_mark_target.h
net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_ECN.c => ipt_ecn_target.c
net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_TTL.c => ipt_ttl_target.c
net/ipv6/netfilter/ip6t_HL.c => ip6t_hl_target.c
net/netfilter/xt_CONNMARK.c => xt_connmark_target.c
net/netfilter/xt_DSCP.c => xt_dscp_target.c
net/netfilter/xt_MARK.c => xt_mark_target.c
net/netfilter/xt_RATEEST.c => xt_rateest_target.c
net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c => xt_tcpmss_target.c

This has been discussed before on the git mailing list (see thread 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/38612 ), and I 
believe it to be a problem that will start to crop up more often than 
not, given the proliferation of open source code onto a variety of 
platforms that have this type of filename intolerance.

The reason for posting to this list is to hear your considered opinion 
on the impact of these proposed file name changes on the netfilter and 
linux kernel development communities.  If you prefer I submit complete 
patches before discussion, I could try to do that.
