Personally I prefer the sysv prefix, to match sysv-rc.  Part of my
rationale is that the killall5, last, lastb, mesg and pidof binaries
don't really have anything to do with the init program or system as
such, they are just useful tools, and I assume they are commonly found
in sysv-based unix systems.

But I have no strong opinion if the best name is sysv-utils,
sysvutils, sysv-tools or sysvtools.  And because I have no strong
opinion on the name, I choose compatibility with others as the most
important factor, and suggest we use the same name as ubuntu, if we
get the split working.
