Renaming 2K3 and 2K8 to 2003 and 2008...

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Maybe it's just me, but I think 2K3 and 2K8 are ugly and unintuitive 
shortenings, so I've produced a patch to rename them all to 2003 and 2008.  
I'll apply this in a fews days if no one complains.  If this is going to break 
people's muscle memory or is classed as a bad idea let me know and I'll just 
grumble quietly in a corner somewhere...  5;)

For a lot of the classes, it does look better.  When I had first named the 
profiles, the reason why they were shortened to 2K3 and 2K8 was because I 
thought the profile name looked too long compared to the others (and it's a 
pretty common shortening)... but I guess it's really only an extra character in 
reality.  

If others approve, then I'm game :-)

Sounds fine..now I know why its better to rely on major/minor numbers instead 
of profile names.

• Changed state: Fixed

Hmmmm, the documentation will need to change, but only when we do the next 
release.  In the meantime, the change from win2k3.py to win2003.py may cause 
need people to "make clean" or wipe out their pyc files.
