I have only ever used the gprename-install and, more
recently, the more conventional configure/make/make
install methods. The gprename.desktop file in
/usr/share/applications is dated 28 May 2007, and must
be from an earlier svn. I deleted it.

You are right of course. This is an area that varies
widely by project, from some projects almost requiring
the later or latest nightlies for useful function, to
other projects requiring developer credentials to even
access the nightlies. My confusion came from the 
web-viewable url being clearly visible, while the
command line url remained more within the developer
knowledge set. ...And as I have stated before and is
clearly obvious, I am not a developer ;-)

A big thanks to Marvin Stark for project
contributions!
