I think it's fine to make things more uniform. The only inconvenience
will be that if I fix bugs in existing files the patch I add to the existing
FreeBSD port will have to be against the old file names until the next
release of GDB, but that is a relatively minor one. I don't currently have
any pending patches to any of the files you are renaming.
