How do we rename modules in CVS?

proto/PanoramiX should be proto/Xinerama, but I'm not sure how
to make that happen.    (PanoramiX was DEC's code name when
developing it, but when it was integrated into X.Org it was
renamed to Xinerama to avoid trademark isssues with an existing
trademark.   The protocol name is really Xinerama, it's just the
ancient header files and function names that didn't get properly
renamed, though doing so was a goal of the failed Xinerama
standardization attempt.)
