Since "project_root" is the actual importable Python package name, I
don't think it's a good idea to have it be a fixed name; it should be an
appropriately-chosen package name for each individual project.

I guess we could consider always using the same name for the outer
directory, but I think it's better to reuse the package name for that
directory. It means you can run startproject twice from within the same
directory without overwriting things, and I think it just makes
intuitive sense that the output of startproject is a directory with the
same name you just gave it.
