kdevelop sdk name

[Andrew Sutton]

greetings,

i don't generally contribute much to kde, but for some reason, i'm  
subscribed to a bunch of kde mailing lists - i guess it's some kind  
of weird techno-voyeurism.

anyways, i read about the project name issue on the weekly commit  
digest, and had a suggestion. in the (somewhat new) tradition of  
naming api's with names that appear to be tangentially related or  
descriptive of the project - at least without thinking about them,  
i'd propose the name "origin". there are a couple of reasons:

first "origin" is a synonym for "source" - which as developers, we  
should all be familiar with :)

second, all kde development originates from source code (duh).  
describing an api as "origin" has very specific connotations -  
specifically, that it provides facilities for everybody developing  
for kde - in one fashion or another.

third, it's short, sweet, and to the point. i mean, it's only 6  
letters - so is "plasma".

hopefully, i'm not johnny-come-lately or beating a dead horse with  
the suggestion, but i liked it. i hope you guys do to.
