	Well, the final goal is to move those two libraries to ModemManager and 
NetworkManager's repositories in the future. If I rename them now I will 
probably have to rename them back in the future. I think will have to ask this 
to NetworkManager guys now.

	What names do you suggest? libmodemmanager-qt and libnetworkmanager-qt? 
I do not see any other more descriptive name. Another suggestion is 
libQtModemManager and libQtNetworkManager, which follows Qt's library name 
convention. I think will stick to the latter. Just let me check with the 
NetworkManager guys if there is any problem using Qt's library name convention 
instead of NM"s.
