Depends ;)

If a header primarily describes one class it should have that class' name
(like ppgGC.h). *With* prefix.
For main Subproject headers (Penguin2d.h, PenguinFile.h, ...) adding a
prefix would be silly.
And for all the other headers I'd say forget the prefix. Those cases are
uncommon enough anyway.

For internal headers (the ones that will not appear in the installed
include dir) I use prefix+underscore, e.g. ppf_PakFile.h
But here clashes are unlikely too because those headers are only visible to
that single subproject.
