 Our python loadable modules are named libXXX_python (specifically,
 libdns_python and libxfr_python).  The naming is a bit awkward in some
 points:

  - libXXX doesn't seem to be common for python modules
  - the "_python" suffix is redundant

 Since they are a wrraper of some C++ libraries, a simple and probably the
 best naming is to derive it from the C++ library name removing the "lib"
 prefix.  e.g., for libdns++.so, just say dns++.

 Unfortunately the python interpreter doesn't seem to be happy with the
 syntax "++", however.  Plain "dns" is not a good candidate either, because
 dnspython already uses it.

 In any case it'd be better to give them better names.  Some possibilities:

  - dnsypp (pycryptopp, a crypto++ wrapper, takes the same approach)
  - pydnspp (basically the same idea as the first one)
  - dnsplusplus
