Fine, the two packages would be quite similar. Before committing
something with the wrong name.

Let me understand better and explain.
1) I currently have package "x" (that is gnustep-back) and thus it is
named in my opencsw directory
2) one of the modulations needs to be choosen. it is not a feature tha
tyou can activate, but a choice that you need to make
3) as package name do you refer to the actual name in the directory? 

that is, I have gnustep-back, that can be built either "xlib" or
"cairo". There is no "gnustep-back" without this choice.

All remaining packages will depend on either one or the other, you can't
have both.

Is it now correct to commit gnustep-back? perhaps with a first
hard-configured version to which we make modulations then work?
