Not super clear that the tintin++ apt-get package installs tt++ #161

Thanks for making this awesome tool!

Currently when installing tintin++ from apt-get the package is named tintin++ but the actual executable and man pages are for tt++. This can be very confusing to someone using it for the first time, I ended up having to look into the file list of the package to see what exactly I should be looking for. Options that might solve this are:

There are definitely other options I'm not thinking of as well and this is possibly a minor issue but it does require some knowledge of Linux systems to figure it out so for some less tech savvy Windows users it might be a blocker.

Anyway, thanks for the amazing work!

Thanks.

I don't maintain any of the packages, so I don't have much control over that aspect.

I'll see if I can add a note in the installation section of the website to package maintainers.

At least I assume the executable is consistently named tt++, so perhaps a post-install script informing the user the executable and man page are tt++?
