Relatively recently I stumbled upon Peter Clifton's sedrename plugin for
pcb which he brought to the geda-dev list sometime in 2008. Sadly, the
plugin had severely bit-rotted since it was introduced. Being unable to
find anyone who had brought the code up to date with the current state
of pcb, I tossed the file into a Git repository[1], ported it forward,
and wrote a hacky Makefile. In addition to a rule to build the plugin,
the Makefile also includes a simple install rule.

While I didn't change the user interface, it could probably do with some
revision. It appears that originally the intention was to pass the
regular expression as an argument to the sedrename command. Is there a
reason this was #if 0'd in favor of prompt_for()'ing?

I hope this is useful to someone. As always, pull requests are very
welcome.

Cheers,

- Ben
