Hi René, thanks for your answer, but I'm afraid that is not
exactly what I want: what I'd like is to change the executable
file name only, and leave the rest (.cpp names and target name)
untouched. Sort of like the following (if only the fictitious
<executable-name> existed):

  [run foo.cpp : <executable-name>bar : foo ]
