I added 'application' as it was already used within the project settings for
other temporary files.  So, I was just trying to be consistent.

As far as readability, all that was changed was the program database
filename, not the application executable filename.  This file is only needed
for debugging anyway and is not directly used by the debugger (i.e., the
debugger doesn't ever need to open or do anything with the file; the
debugger does any required manipulation/reading/etc.).

Also, you're right in that the issue exists for all of the applications and
libraries that have the same name.
