I consider using it a matter of taste. It's often convenient to add
suffix so that the namespace is free for things like that:

mystryct_t *mystruct;

(and struct mystruct *mystruct; is a worse solution IMHO).

As a matter of fact, I was considering dropping _t suffix for jsstr_t
type (as well as jsval_t, which I introduced lately) mostly because
those types are so core for jscript that they deserve looking a bit like
base types. I didn't know about the suffix reservation for POSIX (well,
C99 also uses _t and it's not part of POSIX), that's a good point.

That said, I don't have strong opinion here for general practices in
Wine. I will reconsider dropping the suffix for a few types.
