Thanks.  I prefer renaming also, especially for files that (I hope)
will be compiled in the DJGPP port of GDB.  fnchange.lst is the last
resort, and using it is tricky for files that are actually compiled.

The latter is better, because it preserves the CVS history.  But I
think it requires special privileges on the repository.
