I agree there needs to be some migration aid. How has this been handled in
the past?

I have noticed that sub filename in grab/Config_file.pm has a parameter
"old_progname" to help with renaming conf files. But I never call this sub
directly but just use ParseOptions from XMLTV::Options for which there
doesn't seem to be a way to utilize this feature?

Using something like the code Gary linked to on his github seems okay to
me. Does this code work on windows?

Robert previously suggested he could move/rename the file on the CVS server
to maintain the history. I am not sure if that is the best method but if
that is the way we proceed then it may be easiest to let Robert handle the
whole rename process including updating makefiles and leaving a migration
script in place.  He is probably also in a better position to know what is
going to work on Windows than I am.
