All libraries start with "lib" but that doesn't mean the package that
provides a library should do.

Look at the output of rpm -qf /usr/lib64/lib* and you'll see most of
them are not called "libxxx" just because they install a file called
"libxxx.so".  e.g. gtk3 installs libgtk-3

The project is called IT++, it installs headers in <itpp/*> and
installs libitpp.so, so itpp seems the most natural name.
