If the packages are named differently, then presumably they can both be installed, but
only if they can co-exist.

Maybe some thought should be given to tinkering with the directories such that they can
both be installed at the same time?

What about making library directories common....

Some thought is needed, and mine is done for the day.

In general though, this is an exciting proposition, and I thank you for your work Adam.
