	Yes, but this is not really helpful if we are aiming at being able
to parallel-install GNOME 2 and GNOME 1.x, right ?

	If I remember right, Martin posted TODO #1 which had an item
saying it should be possible to install GNOME 2.0 and GNOME 1.x into the
same prefix.

	:-) Well, it's the best way of starting with GNOME 2.0 building
for me and then identifying problems with trying a parallel build etc by
checking filenames etc etc.

	I've got a report coming up next on the issues we have facing us.

	Regards,

		Ravi
