The portfile is following the convention supported by the distro. The more
we change or augment the distro the more we increase the maintenance
costs. And since this is a foundational package used directly or
indirectly by several other packages a change in the name of the
executable (for example) may ripple strongly into the packaging of the
ports for those too. I would suggest that for now we develop an update to
the portfile to catch conflicts (since those already cause an installation
failure but without a helpful message from the port system), and then re-
evaluate. I'll point out that I did not introduce this port, but
volunteered to freshen it up as part of overall SGML and XML support.
