Yeah. As we're the "upstream" developers now, we should use that URL
everywhere.

Suggestions for the new name?

We might even keep the name, it doesn't contain "linuxbios" in it, just
"lx", which could mean different things, e.g. "Lightweight, eXtensible".
The "bios" part is not necessarily a problem, as lxbios can indeed dump
CMOS bytes (which are used by proprietary BIOSes)...

Yes, I wouldn't do all in one step.

Yep, please do renames in an extra step; one commit which does _only_
a rename (svn mv), so it's better readable in 'svn log' or in trac.
No changes should be done in commits which contain 'svn mv's.
