The `gnu.*' convention is already in wide use.  There are some reasons
explaining why in a web page somewhere on the FSF site (I don't have a
URL handy).

There's also an FSF mailing list which is used to handle naming in
gnu.*.  If you add a new package there you will want to reserve it by
contacting these folks.  I believe contact info is in the Java pages
on gnu.org.
