Hi Walter,

Are you using the AV GUI?  That has different "caching" issues than if
you are just using the command line and ocpidev.

For VHDL workers (with release 1.5 and the version=2 attribute), there
is no embedding of the name in the worker's own source code.

So normally renaming the worker's directory name, its OWD XML file and
its source file is sufficient (and a "clean" in the worker's directory).

A "rename" verb in ocpidev is a good idea (as well as a "copy").

There will still be some remnants of the old worker until a clean build
happens at the project level.
