I like the name Jiglet, but it is not a valid name for a "FIGdriver" as 
defined in "The FIGfont Version 2 FIGfont and FIGdriver Standard" 
(http://www.jave.de/figlet/figfont.txt).

Here is the relevant part of the document:

So I think JFIGlet should be the official name of the tool, while Jiglet 
is a very nice nickname.
