Hello Dan,

the bus report is right: the script names are terrible.

As the package names are 'grabcd-rib' and 'grabcd-encode', I shall
rename the scripts to:

- grabcd-encode
- grabcd-rip
- grabcd-scan

That way it's consistent among the scripts as well as the package
names.

If the ENCODE_BINARY in the configuration points to the old name
(encode.pl), I will correct it automatically and print out a warning
about it e.g. "encode.pl is now called grabcd-encode, please update
your config, this is corrected for this run".

If you don't find any flaws in this, expect a new version within the
next days.

Regards
Christian
