I'm beginning to think that a rename tool actually isn't needed :D
It makes renaming so much more complicated.

Also I noticed that the QueueSettings already have the ability to set different
renaming rules for the queues, so the only good reason to have this tool is
gone now :)

As mentioned before, bug 207053 should be used for general renaming.
The file renaming options used in BQM at the moment are enough if we use the
solution from bug 207053.

I will mark this wish as INVALID now, because I don't see any good reason for
the tool anymore.

If you agree, I will also revert the commit #1020656 that introduced the tool
and made some changes to the BQM containers.

To sum this up:
1. If we use the idea mentioned in bug 207053, the RenameTool becomes useless
2. Queues ARE already aware of different renaming schemes, so the tool would
become useless
3. Instead of a rename tool we should think about a way to MOVE files around,
as wished by some users. At the moment BQM only copies files.
