Yep, we should be consistent about binary names. My personal
preference would be to change the name of the built binary
to "xaralx", which would match what the current installers
use in the binary distribution - if only because capitals
are a little unusual (but not unheard of). That mean the
manpages etc. should all be in lowercase too.
