File conflicts appear to be a frequent problem.  There has recently
been a collision between two packages providing ev.h header.  It also
seems like Python 3.1 tries to provide /opt/csw/lib/python/os.py -- a
file which is already provided by Python 2.6.  I'm thinking of
implementing a check catching file collisions.  Directories would be
excluded from the check.  What do you think about such check?
