Yes, you're right. But dealing with two subjects (compilation stuff and namespace pollution) in the
same post is more than I can handle right now. The excessive heat is trickling through the plate
glass in spite of the AC and I'm sleepy... :o)

But, rest assured, the widgetapp I culled the example from follows your advice. Everything of any
consequence is prefixed with "SurfaceFWDTLMtest_". I guess this could also be thought of as a form
of namespace pollution depending on one's level of verbosity (mine is quite high :o)
