I actually have a problem with the generic names we use for all the
tools as it does lend itself to this sort of problem. While the ax25
stuff easily predates icecast, I can agree that listen should be
renamed. My preference is axlisten.
The real problem is that development is, well, stopped. I suppose I
could release a new version just for this change so its consistent
but it seems a fair bit of fuss just for some small changes.
