 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.
