I forgot where I put it. What I did is a simple rewriting rule -- a
command with two string arguments, where one is the string to find in
the filenames and the other the replacement string. A fancier
solution would have multiple substitution pairs, and/or regular
expressions. For our purposes, one pair with simple strings was
sufficient.

Once I get out from my current time crunch I'll see about digging up
the change and submitting it as a proposed patch.
