[ANN] Monticello Rename

Hi,

This is the first of a (short) serie of annoucements.

MonticelloRename extends Monticello with the ability to rename a
package.
It often happened to me to start a package with a first name and then
find a better name.
MonticelloRename automates the name change (class and method
categories, package name, ...).
Actually, it does not delete the original package, creates a package
with the new name, moves methods and classes and unloads the originale
package.

Hi Noury, that sounds very useful, thanks!  One question, is the method timeStamp information preserved when renaming a package?  :)  I think they are when I rename a package manually, it'd be nice if it did via the automated way too.
 
 Regards,

I didn't check yet. But, basically, the renaming is just changing
(class and method) categories before snapshoting the new package. So, I
guess timeStamp is preserved. I'll add a test to check this.
