PDL development always feels very ad-hoc. In this instance, we have
inconsistent distributions for different platforms with different
names and different features. A while ago I mention modules (e.g.
PDL::Func, and all the PGPLOT modules). I guess it has a lot to do
with it being such a small group, but this sort of thing always makes
e a bit uneasy. I like software that is well planned and designed.

To me the "Sci" implies that it is a generalized science package. If
that's not what you want from it, then don't call it SciPDL either.
Call it "PDL Pro", "PDL++", "PDL Bundle", "PDL-That-Works" or
whatever. Something that conveys that it is basically PDL with
something extra (if that's want you want your distribution to be).
