I was still talking about C, not C++.
In C++ we should certainly ditch the gmx_ prefix.
In C as well in 5.0, as all C code should be hidden behind a C++ api, I 
suppose.
The question is how far we will get with that before a 5.0 release date. 
Anyhow, all data structure disentangling work I will now involves low 
level stuff, except maybe for some of the higher level communication 
structs.
