I have implemented the option as I proposed it.
ProjectFile=demo
all files called demo.* will be renamed to the PROJNAME variable.
(references to such file are NOT automatically renamed,  you must
replace these references with __PROJNAME__ yourself.

The ProjectFile setting defaults to 'project'.

Please take into account that the variable substitution happens
on __VARNAME__ instead of $(VarName). This was a patch by someone,
I don't remember who exactly. (there are 2 variable names which
control this, so it's easily changeable). 
I have adapted the README for this.

I adapted the variable dialog so that if no variables are present,
the grid is disabled and the caption adapted accordingly.
