Rename crates #1

Just a bugbear: naming things with a ' (prime, apostrophe) is a mathy Haskellism, and it's often a sign that no thought has been put into the name. Sometimes it works, if x' is a transformed version of x and the transform is obvious (like, it's the whole purpose of the function, and the function itself is well-named -- the way you used h' and v' in Update.turn is a good example of that).

Especially for awesome i-wanna-fork-it sample code like this, to be read by new users, the fewer haskellisms the better ... hence this PR!

In the original version, there was only one crate, so crate' was a more appropriate name. This is better now that there are three though :)
