Only rename them when installed, please!

current name seems fine.

We have another script to do the same thing, "mboxget" which is
generally easier to use, the only thing missing from it is the ability
to read directly from a .log (which is just egrep -v '#'|awk '{print $3}').
> hit-frequencies sa-msr-to-freqs
"msr" is less clear to me.
> lint-rules-from-freqs sa-rules-lint
> logs-to-c sa-msr-compile
> fp-fn-statistics sa-accuracy-report
Can we also fix the FP and FN numbers? Only print the correct one! :-)
You know, I'm not really in favor of mass-renaming stuff. Rename the
things that are completely misnamed, but leave it at that.
