[bt-devel] name changes

[Bill Totman]

"Compose window", in English, sounds like you're going to compose a
window, like "window" is the object of "compose." If you want to
denote a "window" in which composition happens, then it should be
"Composition Window" or, perhaps, "Editing Window."

As far as the "library" issue is concerned, it fits well and comes
across to me as intuitive.
