[Development] repository for the toolwrapper

[Knoll Lars]

The repository is now created, so I'd rather not change that (as that's a hazzle in gerrit). But we can still choose freely how to call the binary. Nobody apart from a few developers and packagers will ever see the repository name anyway.

Cheers,
Lars

It would have been a good idea to ask a native English speaker before deciding on the name, as this is an atrocity, language-wise. I'm not a native myself but I can tell this sounds wrong. 'Chose' is definitely not the right verb here, you probably wanted 'select' instead?

On top of that, IMO the *er suffix sounds really odd for a command tool. Have you ever heard of commands named 'lister', 'deleter', or 'grepper' ?

For these reasons I think other suggested names such as 'q[t]ver' or 'q[t]select' are much more appropriate and sound more standard. (I don't care much for q vs qt though)

I hope it's not too late the rename the tool and repository, as the current name really doesn't cut it for me, and I think for a majority of English speakers.

Tim, Sean, John, others, what do you think? :-)
