I can change the HTML links automatically, but not fix make files.

Apparently for a CVS repository on a private server (where we don't have a 
way to rename files and directories on the server) you have to treat the 
renamed directories on your hard disk as new directories, and then remove 
the old directories from the CVS repository.  That causes a loss of 
history. A major pain in the posterior.

If you don't want to change regex right now, it can be done later.

The main thing is to make sure we are agreed on a set of directory names 
that are flexible enough to carry us far into the future.  I really 
hope  someone does a much smarter CVS, and soon!
