Addresses all except the bindir names.

I've had this back from the author

"The problem with renaming "columns" is that the templates I provide
fairly pervasively use "columns" as the program name for performing that
formatting function, and I have a fair number of "clients" who use that
program in their templates, too.  Actually, the "columns" program is
intended to be a generic program.  ``ls -1 | columns --by-col'' will produce
pretty much what you would get with just ``ls''.  (Obviously, you would
not do that, but it means you do not have to insert columnizing code into
programs that produce list outputs.)  So, please argue a little bit.  Failing
that, it could get installed as $bindir/autogen.d/columns and autogen
could add that directory to PATH at startup time.  It's quite a bother and
I use columns in other contexts anyway.  I would very much not want to
do anything like that."

Looks like it's either create the autogen.d directory and have autogen add that
directory at startup time or keep them as they are.
