Well, the final goal is to move those two libraries to ModemManager and
NetworkManager's repositories in the future. If I rename them now I will
probably have to rename them back in the future. I think will have to ask this
to NetworkManager guys now.
What names do you suggest? libmodemmanager-qt and libnetworkmanager-qt?
I do not see any other more descriptive name. Another suggestion is
libQtModemManager and libQtNetworkManager, which follows Qt's library name
convention. I think will stick to the latter. Just let me check with the
NetworkManager guys if there is any problem using Qt's library name convention
instead of NM"s.
