Sorry, Peter, the name comes from a value in the info.plist file inside 
the application bundle on OS X. Although you could change it 
programmatically, you wouldn't see the change until you quit and 
relaunched the app, and even then I'm not sure it that would work 
without changing the corresponding engine name to be the same as what's 
in the info.plist. Doable, but not easy.
