Since the consensus was for renaming tempest and making tempest the library name,
which wasn't really feasible, I opened up a survey to poll everyone on the which
name to use:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/RLLZRGJ

The choices were taken from the initial list I posted and from the suggestions
which people posted based on the availability of the names.

I'll keep it open for about a week, or until a clear favorite emerges.
