Summary: geda-utils: Windows can't handle colons in file names

Initial Comment:
Hi,

When doing a cvs checkout of gEDA/gaf on Cygwin, I got the following error, when cvs began to fetch the refdes_renum testsuite:

$ cvs co geda/gaf
(...)
cvs checkout: Updating geda/gaf/utils/tests/refdes_renum/outputs
U geda/gaf/utils/tests/refdes_renum/outputs/.cvsignore
U geda/gaf/utils/tests/refdes_renum/outputs/Makefile.am
U geda/gaf/utils/tests/refdes_renum/outputs/all_new_refdeses1:allnew.sch
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot rename file .new.all_new_refdeses1:allnew.sch to all_new_refdeses1:allnew.sch: No such file or directory

I checked, and found out that the NTFS filesystem can't handle colons in filenames.

Could these files in the refdes_renum testsuite be renamed, please? Sorry for the inconvenience.

The attached patch fixes the test script, assuming the colon is replaced by the dash in filenames.

Regards,
Cesar
