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.
