There's no equivalent in modules2, because that's not really its 
purpose... it restructures the repository and works at a much lower 
level than modules.

Not that I know of... but 2.0.51d is pretty old now.

I'm in the process of rewriting all of that code (to build rename into 
the core) so eventually it'll all be a lot cleaner.  That won't make the 
next stable release though as it's a lot to do... the one after will 
have it though.
