This is a generous offer and I think Peter would make this change.

This could very simply be handled with GAR modulations though so that
both packages can be built at every update from the same source, at
the same time.  I'm willing to lend support to this effort if Peter
would accept it?

The benefit to doing it like this is that we get to keep the build
recipe all in one place.

[Note: I have no personal interest in either version of this package,
I just want to keep the build descriptions as clean and coherent as
possible.]

Thanks
-Ben
