I don't think I have a good naming sense. :/

As the library name changed, 'tevent' might look like little bit better,
but I'm not sure it's worth changing. How about 'libte', 'lte', or
'lkte' for linux (kernel) trace event? For the last case, 'telk' (trace
event for linux kernel) might be a better name to pronounce.

Any better suggestions?

Thanks,
Namhyung
