Is it possible to rename atoms with psfgen?

I'm working on a somewhat complicated workflow utilizing psfgen and
combinations of single and dual topologies.

I can successfully apply a patch with psfgen to convert a single topology
psf into a dual topology psf. I can also "unpatch" the dual topology psf
and keep either set of the copied atoms (what you might call the "lambda 0"
and "lambda 1" sets). Obviously the lambda 0 and lambda 1 atoms have
different names. However, I'd like the resulting "unpatched" single
topology psf to always have the same standard pdb names (regardless of
which atoms I kept).

In CHARMM I would have supplemented the patch with the "RENAME ATOM"
command, but I can't readily find an analogous command in psfgen, although
pdbalias sounds very close.

Can anyone make a suggestion? I suppose, although this would be very
kludgy, that I could just use a system call to sed and change the names
that way.

Thanks,
Brian
