The folks at OSHPark worked with me to build a local batch-mode PCB
(it's a default configure option) so they can accept ∗.pcb files
directly, they convert them to gerbers locally. It's one way of
avoiding the whole naming problem in the first place.

But really, anyone who uses gEDA can probably figure out how to rename
some files, if you give more guidance than "Here is an example:"
(although they can probably figure it out from that too ;)

You'd probably get more customers if you don't insult their tools, too.
