Package rename

[Pieter Holtzhausen]

Sounds reasonable.

What about scyimage or skyimage?
Then one can pronounce the import without without entering consonant
mode i.e. esskayimage.

What is the policy on scikit vs scikits?
http://scikit-learn.sourceforge.net/ while scikits on the website text
for example. If one builds a brand one should standardize on one or
the other.
