[Pythonmac-SIG] PackMan->ChapMan

[Kevin Ollivier]

I personally like Package Manager. I don't think the name is boring, in 
the sense that when someone hears of something called "Python Package 
Manager" I think their reaction will be "Cool, where can I get it?!" 
;-) In this particular case, Package Manager so accurately sums up its 
purpose that it seems the natural choice.
