I am quite against the renaming of binaries.
Does qml2scene mean that there is an equivalent qml1scene?
what is the difference between qmlviewer in qt 4.8 and qt 5.0 that a renaming is necessary?

As for qmlplugindump, it is a "special" tool. Maybe creating a tool that dumps plugin info for both Qt Quick 1 and 2 is a good idea.
