Saved Filename options

[Rob Dixon]

The --fileprefix option is fairly dumb, and won't do anything more than
just include the named fields into the pattern you specify.

Something using the --command option would be possible, but I can't get
the command-line processor to pass the value of <filename> through on a
Windows system.

You ought to be able to say something like

     --command "perl -e \"($new = $old = shift) =~ s/\-+\././; rename 
$old, $new\" \"<filename>\""

but no matter what I do I get

     The system cannot find the path specified.

from the command processor, even before get_iplayer gets a look at it.
