That is the proposal and what Vladimir is working towards, as I
understand it, but one piece at a time rather than one big huge patch,
as he's already stated elsewhere on this thread.

I don't have any problem with asking for a summary of the exact set of
changes that he's planning to make though.  My understanding is that it
includes changing program names, command line options, etc.
