Ah, tool names. Makepy is at least descriptive. My vote for worst tool
names has to be the WiX project, Windows Installer XML, which lets you
build Windows installer packages with a text editor and a command-line
interface as God intended, instead of through an opaque GUI interface.
Noticing that "WiX" rhymes with "wicks", their tools are called
candle.exe, tallow.exe, lit.exe, light.exe, and dark.exe.
The problem is that, although cute, those names give no clue as to what
the tools do. "Candle" is basically the compiler and "light" is the
linker, but I have to go to the documentation every time I need to use one.
