[sword-devel] wxSword

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Just a light comment.  We have affectionate internal names for projects, 
e.g. BibleCS, but end users don't really care what toolkit we use.  When 
releasing a public package, it might be useful to dub the product 
something happy and shiny.  Just hoping to alleviate some tension 
regarding the name.

    -Troy.

PS.  I'm excited to see the updated work from both of you!
