[SailfishDevel] Update on application naming for Harbour applications

[Luciano Montanaro]

Is this package name or binary name?

Because I think you cannot use dots in the base name of the package,
but the binary name should not be a problem to change. Or a dash or
underline could replace the dot without other side effects I think...
