I have done this patch for myself too. And the patch is working good.
(answer to the question if the patch is working)

You have misunderstood me.
If your peering-set  name is AS8679:PRNG-SIX then the output is like ..
-- CUT --
router bgp 8679
neighbor AS8679:PRNG-SIX peer-group
neighbor AS8679:PRNG-SIX route-map AS8679-IMPORT-SIX in
  neighbor 192.108.148.10 remote-as AS2607
  neighbor 192.108.148.10 peer-group AS8679:PRNG-SIX
  neighbor 192.108.148.15 remote-as AS12508
  neighbor 192.108.148.15 peer-group AS8679:PRNG-SIX
.
.
.
-- CUT --

I want to replace the string AS8679:PRNG-SIX with someting else (I'm not sure if 
the cisco will accept hierarical names)

The solution can by to add one optional parameter to the RtConfig 
importGroup/exportGroup line (name of the peering group)

@RtConfig exportGroup <ASN-1> <peering-set-name> [config-peering-name]

Instead of patchig RtConfig for this, I used sed to replace AS8679:PRNG-SIX to 
[config-peering-name] and it works also vell.

It would be nice to implement this feature in the future, but I can live without 
it too.

 > Also, what about other peering-set names inside this peering-set?
This could be problem with my soulution :(.

> P.S. Later I'll have a look why it segfaults in 4.8.1.
I have tried the precompiled binaries and also compiled one by myself.
I'm not familiar so good with the code to repair it :(, so I will let it to the 
developers.
