I now brought it up-to-date with a few additional changes from ion3plus 
as found in M Rawash's git repository over at github.

Next step is starting to rename things from ion to notion, in a way that is
as backwards-compatible as possible.

A couple of things come to mind:

directory names: let's simply rename these: a simple 'ln -s' will bring the
  old names back if someone would like to build a plugin not yet adapted for 
  notion

file names: let's simply rename these: simple enough to fix.

internal C object/function names: let's simply rename these

exported names: let's rename these, but keep them available under the old name
for compatibility reasons, too. Perhaps add some 'deprecated' GCC marker if
possible.

lua object names: let's rename these, but keep aliases to them under the old
names, so existing configuration scripts will work (mostly?) unchanged.

What do you think?
