I agree about the name being simply Proj. My reasoning:
The release numbers don't match the API/ABI version. Proj 4.9.3 is
actually 12. What is being called the 5.x series will go through a few
version numbers. Keeping these two independent sets of numbers
straight is always a source of error.
One set of numbers to rule them all...
