Creating files and renaming in custom convert plugins

[Svein Seldal]

Yes, --filemap can rename and delete files, but it cannot change 
contents nor can it create new files.

One possible solution could be to use the --filemap to rename 
fileobject, and then let the convert source plugin change the contents. 
Since I'm doing a lot of processing, I'm looking for a method to do this 
all at once from a source plugin.

Best regards,
Svein
