Here's my opinion.  Others may disagree. :)

I think "apollo" is appropriate.  While I know it is just a code  
name, it's very recognizable/familiar to people at this point.

I see two options here:

(1) Fix the WebKit directory to have subdirectories for each  
platform.  That means all of the Mac subdirectories would move under  
WebKit/mac.  Then you could have WebKit/apollo.
(2) Have top-level directories for each WebKit, e.g., WebKitMac,  
WebKitWin, WebKitApollo, WebKitQt, etc.

My personal preference would be for (1), although note that Qt went  
with (2) already.  Other platforms can do (1) now without us having  
to move our Mac files immediately, so that doesn't hold anything up.

I'd be curious to hear more opinions on this.  I'm not a big fan of  
lots of top-level directories in a project, so I like (1) a lot  
better than (2).

Yeah, and additional components/platforms can be added to Bugzilla to  
cover this.

I'd stick with Apollo.
