I still like Sugar\Windows (with backwards slash of course),
but I have to admit that your naming scheme is excellent.
There is an obvious name to describe "Sugar on Windows".

Component: An implementation of Sweet on Windows
Codename: Lead Acetate (sweeter than glucose, but bad for children)
Description: Lead Acetate, also known as Sugar of Lead, is what
we get when we implement Sweet on Windows XP. Lead Acetate is toxic
to young brains. It causes learning disability, behavioral tendencies
toward violence, and even brain damage.

Note that this component is related to Wine. Romans used lead
containers to make their Wine sweeter.
