Dear.all,
I have the following problem:  I have a (quite large) hierarchy of
packages (with package root, say, FOO) that I modified to suit my
needs.  Since now the two hierarchies are quite different, I would
like to rename the root of the modified version, both to avoid clashes
and to give a more meaningful name (say, BOO.  More meaningful, isn't
it?:-) to the new one.  This means that I have to change every
FOO.<something> into BOO.<something>.  I could do this by hand, but it
is boring and error-prone, I could do this with sed, but I could mess
everything up.  Are you aware of some tool (maybe ASIS based?) that
could help me in this?

Thank you in advance for your help.
