Right, thats generally what I've been trying to do.  :)

I'm mostly trying to fix the problem that Suresh Madhu pointed out with 
regaurds to using defsystem (defsystem apparently doesn't like files with 
two '.' characters in their names).

Yes, most definantly! :)

I've been looking at the possible solutions to this 'problem' (renaming in 
CVS) and think that the one in which original-filename is removed from the 
repository and new-filename is then added to the repository with a note 
that it used to be called original-filename.  The other alternatives sound 
significantly more time intensive and error-prone and still have their 
draw-backs!  

Do you have any opinions?  (now is the time to say 'oh, please don't do 
*THAT*!' ;)
