I agree that the $PATH installed files are in a global name space and
need usrp_ (if they are USRP related) or some other prefix (like gr_ as
you suggest) if they are not.

At least in gr-utils, we specifically made sure everything that gets
installed into $PATH starts with usrp_.  The 'print-db' script became
'usrp_print_db.py', for example.

There are other things which probably don't conform to this, and I want
to clean that up at the same time I remove .py suffix, if we go forward
with that.
