Yes, I agree. But realistically, I have the impression that any time there was
any reason not to use the original engine name, we just didn't. (The Revolution
games you mention, and also the gob engine.) In the other cases the default of
the original engine name was entirely uncontroversial I think.

So I think this has been more of a "default choice" (with which I do agree, by
the way) than any strong "preference".


Anyway, I still feel naming an engine "Picture" is unnecessarily adding
confusion. (Same for CGE/Soltys, but of course that one already has a history
in our repo now.)

Since judging by the replies there's no real objection to renaming Picture to
Toltecs pre-merge, I'd like to go ahead with that.
