 and/or various archive formats that makes having two versions of Unison
 simultaneously installed a Really Bad Idea.

 That's a good question. We could further modify each version of unison to
 give each its own settings file / config area, or whatever it is that
 unison has.

 My thought was just that if the client and server versions must match,
 then who's to say a user wouldn't have one server they need to communicate
 with that uses one version, and a different server that uses a different
 version? Thus they would need to have both versions of the client software
 on their computer installed at the same time.

 It's also implied by the naming convention: in MacPorts, multiple ports
 for the same software but different version numbers, like xxx1 and xxx2,
 are assumed to be simultaneously installable.
