I think  that in the case  of these projects, naming  the project file
${projectname}.pcproj is  ok, because the project  directories are not
"file packages".

However, I  would like  to point  that in the  case of  file packages,
naming an item  inside the directory with the same  name makes it more
difficult  to rename  the file  package.  IE.  it's more  difficult to
rename  ${application}.app/${application} than it  would have  been if
they would  have used the convention  of naming the  executable of the
applications ${application}.app/executable. Same for the bundles, etc.

An  example  of a  good  naming scheme  is  WriteNow  which names  its
documents inside a file package "${whatevername}.wn/WNDocument.wn".
