getting ahold of Portfile and files/ for a port

Hi Guys,

I am new to the list.   I have started working on a guile20 port (for guile v 2.0.11).  I'd like to call it guile20 to be distinct from the current guile (v 1.8.8) port.  There is a guile16, so I'd like to check out the patches to see if/how it can be installed alongside the guile port.

Is there a port command to see what conflicts with a package (e.g., with guile16)?

Is there a way to get my hands on the guile16 port files?  Do I need to pull from SVN?

Currently I have generated a Portfile and patch files that will install the binary as guile20, renames guile.ac to guile20.ac and skips installing all the doc files (e.g., man and info files).

Matt
