I don't feel strongly either way, but if it came to a vote I'd vote for
using the sb_ prefix and adding the scripts to a standard location on the
PATH.  I find it a pain in the bum to have to specify /usr/local/apache
(or whatever it's called - I have to find it every time) to do stuff with
Apache (for example).  I know I could add it to my PATH, but having a big
unwieldy PATH is a pain in the bum as well.  

[FWIW, I preferred sb- as a prefix, and we could have used it by stripping
 the scripts down to an "import spambayes.xxx; spambayes.xxx.main()", but
 I don't feel strongly about that either.  Get off the fence, Richie!]
