I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve. 

Try to use some kind of "make" tools, they are available on all Unix 
(Standard) and on Windows through "CygWin" --> http://www.cygwin.com/

A "make" tool should do the filename renaming etc. Try to use "cl65" instead 
using the compiler and assembler alone. You can call the "make" tool from 
every better PGM-Editor. Voila, you have your IDE.

Eclipse may be good, but it is really HUGE.

As an Editor for Unix and Windows I can recommend Jasspa MicroEmacs --> 
http://www.jasspa.com/.  It's lean, customizable, FreeSoftware (GPL) and 
programmable. 

Ciao
