KAboutData has support for two names.  There's the internal name, usually 
lowercase and the same as the binary name, used for things like KConfig 
filenames.  There's also the user-visible name, the one that gets an 
I18N_NOOP, that is used in things like the About box.

Those two names need not be consistent with each other, but clearly the 
user-visible name has to be used consistently in the app and the docs.

How about just calling it KCD in KDE 3.2?  What's the S stand for anyway?
