Hi Bernd,

Could you please provide some feedback on this issue, so that we can
make progress with this bug?  You seemed to kindly agree to rename the
binary in python-pywbem.  If you still do, please reassing this bug to
python-pywbem.  If not, please state it, and I'll take care of it in
sblim-wbemcli.
