I would like to mention a possible problem that I am seeing with naming files 
associated with scripts.
The McTwit and Skype packages seem to have a file naming conflict.  Both 
scripts have a file called history.txt.  When 
I attempt to install one package, I am informed that the other package must be 
removed.  Do you wish to continue?

I would like to propose, that as a naming convention, wherever possible, all 
files in a script package have the same base name.
Such as:
SkypeHistory.txt
and McTwitHistory.txt.
I would like to propose that we do this for all .wav files, etc.
This is already being done with the .vbs, .xml, and .ini files--why not extend 
this concept to other files as well.

I know that this might not always be possible, say for example some of the 
tools that Jamal has added to the HomerSharedObject package are utilities which 
are included and therefore, should probably keep their original names.

Another naming problem which I have seen is that both the Skype script and the 
SkypeInternational script both seem to have the same Package name of 
Skype.wepm.  If people do like I often do and use the installPackages script to 
download all of the new and updated packages, both are downloaded.  Since the 
Skype script name is alphabeticly before the SkypeInternational script name, I 
was ending up with the international version instead of the newer English 
version that I wanted.

I would appreciate your comments, and my only goal here is to see that all of 
your hard work can be put to best use by the end users.
