FWIW -- it is "project.el"; "package.el" is that other thing I wrote that we all argue about :-) RMS already asked that I just put the code into files.el. So all that will be left are the symbol names starting with "project-". Perhaps even "project" is a misnomer. It is hard to say. I do think the best use for this feature is project-specific settings.
