 I guess the main fault line is between Emacsen and XEmacsen - the 
 various Emacsen are much more likely to store things in the same place. 
 Looking at emacs/modules.mk, the {x,}e* variables are clearly 
 distinguished, paths all different, and there is an xemacs prefix pre-set.
 
 Wouldn't it be enough to just remove the CONFLICTS settings, then deal 
 with the fallout from conflicting PLISTs as it happens?
 
 Cheerio,
