In my experience, the ThisIsAVariable type of code is relatively
*new*.  None of the UNIX calls or types are named that way, but
Windows uses that style all over.  Thus I suspect that newer C
programmers programming on Windows tend to use that style.  (the style
was often used in SmallTalk as well, since "_" wasn't part of variable
names) In general, older people don't use case-specific stuff as much.
