without any reliance whatsoever on the Qt3Support module.

-but to surpass it, a new name was needed to prevent confusion with RibbonSoft's
-product.

Initial thoughts on naming centered around FooCAD or CADFoo (with Foo being
whatever), but a long search on the internet brought forth the conclusion that
such paths have been well trodden by just about anyone who has even given a
thought towards creating computer aided design software. And so it was
-manifestly clear that a different naming scheme would be required. After
-several false starts, the name Architektonas was chosen as a rough English
-transliteration of the Greek word for architect. We like it; we hope you do
-too!
