Drop the CaMel CaSe

This will be the straw that breaks the camel's back. As part of a renewed branding initiative, I have decided that we should finally drop the silly camel case: from now on, we should say "Pitivi" instead of "PiTiVi" in all of our assets and public communications. The historical "EpiTV -> EpiTV -> PiTiVi" stuff has been around for long enough and it does not mean anything. It hasn't had significant meaning since, well, 2006 or so. Advantages of dropping the camel case: - So much less of a pain in the arse to type - Easier to read - Brings back some maturity and professionalism to the name - Not limited to the Beteckna font anymore The (upcoming) redesigned website has already dropped the camel case (actually, the problems I had with fonts for the website played a significant part in motivating me to do this switch now), our G+ page doesn't use it, Bugzilla and the wiki have been corrected to reflect this, and all that remains is the code of Pitivi itself. I expect I'll be making a patch for that soon.
Just do it and be done with that I would say :)
commit 549e1e3b08528ab239092bf3d295bb272f0fdd24 Author: Jean-François Fortin Tam <nekohayo@gmail.com> Date: Sun Sep 8 15:18:13 2013 -0400 Rename PiTiVi to Pitivi This improves our branding, which is a surefire way to world domination. Also update the source code file headers to drop the "non-linear" term, as it is an anachronism. With software nowadays, any video editor is non-linear, so that term is redundant. Dropping the "camel case" fixes bug #705756
