Since Stefan talked about aim at getting 0.12.x into Python stdlib, I 
think we should discuss package names.

1) Currently there's "Cython" for the package with the compiler and 
"cython" for the "shadow" module importable from pure Python. I feel 
this is both confusing and error-prone. A solution is to rename the 
former to e.g. "cythoncompiler". (However, unless more renaming is done, 
one would have "cythoncompiler.compiler". Perhaps "cythoncompiler.core").

2) Should all the package names be converted to lowercase?

3) Should one perhaps distribute Cython under two seperate package 
names, so that a standalone version can coexist with the one in stdlib? 
This would facilitate easy installation and usage of non-stdlib Cython 
releases. Can't come up with any good names though.
