Change project name to Thun.

I waited too long to upload to PyPI and some other bastard snagged the name.  I originally wanted to call it "Thun" as a tribute to Manfred von Thun, but I was concerned that this might seem to violate the thrid clause in the license of the original Joy code, to wit:

3. The name of the author may not be used to endorse or promote products  derived from this software without specific prior written permission.

Since the author is deceased I don't know of whom to ask permission to call this project Thun, but since I am not trying to "endorse or promote" this project with his name it should be alright.  In any event if anyone complains I can rename the project again.
