I agree. I don't know how it can be ensured though. The current Enginio name 
went through several people. The process let this through, so there is 
probably a problem in the process?

Another issue is whether to fix Enginio. Apparently it does things 'different' 
because it was desired to have a disparate release schedule and version 
scheme. 

Nothing appeared on this mailing list about doing that for this particular 
case with Enginio. I think that should have been discussed here as it sets 
precedent.

Nevertheless, because Enginio uses a disparate scheme, that means that this 
situation can be 'fixed' by bumping the major version number, fixing the 
library name and the include directory name. 

What do you think?

Thanks,
