  Well, as I stated earlier I withdraw my earlier suggestion that we
keep the name. It does seem less confusing to keep Harmony as the name
of the toolkit. It's yours (the toolkit developers) to do with as you like, 
as far as I'm concerned (and I /am/ the one who thought it up) - though GNU Tea
sounds quite good to me too ;)
