This is actually one of the better uses of <script> around. Again, to
clarify - I dislike <script> when its used to solve a problem that should be
solved in some more elegant way. Replacing and "_" with a ".", besides
<replaceregexp> (which isn't available in a released version yet) is
perfectly cool with me.
Also, post 1.4.1 release a modification was made to <script> so that
"project" can be used instead of "<project name>". It makes having
re-usable script blocks among build files with different project names
possible. (And I am responsible for that change, thank you very much!)
