I think it's a great idea. Just please allow the two packages to
co-exist, rather than conflicting with each other.
There's more than one way to handle the layout thereof; completely
separate trees, or "alternatives" based binary overlays, or possibly
something else entirely. (lazyloading the libs, and not
force-depending on them?)
Please pick whatever method you find least offensive :-)
