I'll fill you in with some historical details:
When I started to make my biggest changes to hypermail 2, there was only the
proto.h file. Every single time I modified a prototype, I changed that file
and when I typed 'make' every single source file had to be rebuilt.
I find that kind of hassle very annoying so I started convert things towards
specific header files for specific source files.
The transition is not complete, and it may not ever become so, but that's the
story behind what you see today.

That is what I prefer.
