I know for a fact it can and has been done, (0921 version) but I manally went through the whole package (after install) page by page and tested each one as I changed and reuploaded just to avoid complications... so it is doable but this is from that previous thread posted yesterday:

This feature will be a part of the 097 release.
so better to just wait it out till 097 becomes available methinks as it was aloooot of places to change
To the best of my recollection, I think I added a variable in the config file and at the top of the main index.php with the name I wanted to use ( $manager_folder_name = "MyNewManager"; ) then used that variable everywhere as opposed to hardcoding in the files.
I have no clue how the 097 will approach this but maybe that will give you an idea if you must have this functionality now...
