While creating unixodbc and iodbc(libiodbc) variants for the mysql-
connector-odbc port, which I maintain, it became annoying to have to
uninstall/install unixodbc and libiodbc.
I believe I have successfully moved the conflicting files for unixodbc
and libiodbc into lib/${name}, include/${name} and share/${name}
My tests with mysql-connector-odbc after this change indicate success.
Checking for effected ports reveals a relatively short list of ports
that would need to be updated.
find /opt/local/var/macports/sources/svn.macports.org/trunk/dports -

x11/qt4-x11
Some of these ports do not have variants for unixodbc and/or iodbc
there by making them un-resolvable conflicts.
It's easy enough for me to conflict unixodbc and iodbc variants in
myslq-connector-odbc.
I interested if others think it is worth fixing the conflict between
unixodbc and iodbc.
Comments welcomed.
