Nice, thanks!  And for patches?  PATCHESDIR?

I've been thinking about this, too.  But I opted for the conflicting
packages because they both compile from the same source tarball, just
with different ./configure options.  Much like mozilla vs mozilla-gtk2.  
Distilling the gtk frontend would probably require more work.  

That's just my opinion, of course.
