well, shortly, no.
Project names are stored in db to permit the usage of more projects 
(read global system packages) with the same .db format.
What would be possibile to do instead is to implement a refactoring call 
that would rename the project name.
If the renaming is performed offline (i.e. when Anjuta isn't running) 
then the project manager should detect that and offer symbol-db the new 
project name.
Would it be possibile?
