Back then, we decided not to address it. Tom and I just discussed this by phone and we both agree that we should correct this. Unfortunately, since it is a significant change that would break many user's scripts that call the current program names, our plan is to implement this change on our 'next' branch of our repository and make it part of the 3.6 release. The changes require a little more work than what you've done in your patch, but it's a good start, and I'll give it a detailed review as part of the 'next' branch work. Thanks for your efforts here.
