The best thing would be to add an empty CSWpmcalendarsimp depend on
the new CSWpmcalendarsimple, recompile the dependencies to depend
against the new one, than later delete the old one. For an example
on how to do this in GAR see e.g.
   http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/pkg/cpan/Params-Validate/trunk/Makefile
   http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/pkg/cpan/HTML-Format/trunk/Makefile
RT is quite big, but if you want to take a shot feel free :-)
