removing duplicate names from our data collection

Hi,

here's an easy task for a potential contributor: At the moment a few of the brushes (and perhaps other data files as well) that we distribute with the GIMP tarball, have the same name. An example are the three "Pencil Sketch" brushes which should probably have the pixel size added to their names.

GIMP takes care of duplicate names and adds #n to the name so that every brush has a unique name. It would of course be a lot better if we wouldn't distribute files with duplicate names. So if someone wants to contribute but hesitated to do so because of lack of coding skills, here's a job that doesn't require any. All you need to do is to identify duplicates, open the respective files and save them with unique names. Then send me a tarball of the files that needed to be changed. Please let the list know if you are interested so we avoid multiple people working on this at the same time.

Sven
