Function name change

[cmd-ntrf]

A proposition for a naming convention.

For variables and attributes, lowercase is used (lower_case may be prefered for long or
uncommon names).

For function names camelCase is used. The prefix (first word) is lower case (and abbreviated if
possible and not the only word), it delimits broader sections, crossover, mutation, algrithms, etc.

List of proposed prefixes
Crossover = cx
Mutation = mut
Selection = sel
Migration = mig
Evolutionary Algorithm = ea
Evolution Strategy = es
Genetic Algorithm = ga
Genetic Programming

For Classes, CapitalizedWords is used. After the review, I'll merge this branch into: /trunk

In function names, except for the prefix, try not using abreviations as they may be misintrepreted
