Uh, no, that's not a step forward.  Leaving out a "pg" prefix from those
script names is universally agreed to have been a mistake.  We've not
felt that changing the legacy names is worth the amount of pain it'd
cause, but that doesn't mean that we should propagate the mistake into
brand new executable names.
