We could check almost all packages by looking at the PLISTs.  This  
could be automated somewhere and checked, e.g., prior building the  
package (aborting the build if the check failed).  However, I agree  
that disabling the check for $prefix could be good too!

The work directories are a different issue though.  We cannot easily  
check for conflicts inside the distfiles (well, we could by  
inspecting 'tar tzf's output, for example) nor the files they produce  
during build...
