Hmm... using three letter acronyms is a mess. Sorry for this
interference!

Actually "P4D" is not used innocently in the implementation code. It's
also a file extension, a prompt, an XML namespace prefix, a class name
etc. not just a project name and I'm not going to change all this.

I also don't think this is too critical when context has been
established but since the package is also distributed as "P4D" I'm
going to rename it into "P4D Langlet 1.3" in the next release and
adapt the URLs somewhat. I hope this helps avoiding confusion.
