I am looking for a shareware or public domain MV command for DOS that is
preferably with source code (or has source that can be obtained via
registering).

I've looked at MV.DOC/MV.C at wuarchive (mirrors, msdos, dirutls) but 
this one is REAL hardware dependent (the author mentions "test this on
a floppy first....then run chkdsk the first few times you use it").

The FSF Gnuish MV won't allow me to do this: "mv *.c *.d".  All in all,
I want something that will allow me to all of the following and 
nothing more:

C:/> mv tmp.c tmp.d        // Straight one to one correspondence...easy
C:/> mv tmp.c usr/         // Move into directory...easy
C:/> mv *.c *.d            // Rename files with wild cards...not as easy
C:/> mv *.c F:*.c          // Rename w/wild cards across drives...not as easy
C:/> mv tmp.c f:           // Rename file across drive, no name specified

In other words, I want something that acts like MV and RENAME all rolled up
in one, and I don't want to reinvent the wheel for the 499993933rd time!
I don't care if it renames directories (I use RENDIR for that).
