Only the include files would conflict. The libs are uniquely identified by 
their soversion. The include files are part of the -devel package. If people 
don't install the -devel package, no such conflict should occur. I guess, your 
fear is that people do install the -devel package, while messing around with 
fluidsynth2? In this case, you're in trouble, I agree. And the only way to 
work-around this is to hack-around in cmake.

Rather than spending time for a parallel-install-work-around, why not updating 
the API of the depending packages so that Fedora can finally update to 
fluidsynth2? This is the most beneficial solution for your users. I can assist 
in doing so. Could you pls. provide a list of packages?
