I don't have a strong view about the name.  However, I am keen that we can 
encourage Hildon to adopt some of the widgets in future (at which time we can 
deprecate, and stop maintaining, the community versions).  So I would like to 
make it easy to be able to use normal Hildon conventions and easy for callers 
to switch to a future Hildon equivalent.

I don't think the library name itself has much bearing on that.  But method 
names, attributes, signals etc should try to work in a way which will be 
acceptable to Hildon.
