i'd like to change the jam build-system implementation in Gentoo from
dev-util/jam to dev-util/ftjam.  ftjam is maintained by the freetype
project and is a drop in replacement for jam.  jam itself hasn't seen
much if any development upstream in quite some while and has some
issues with strict aliasing and GCC 4.2 so i'd like to drop it from
the tree.  both ebuilds install /usr/bin/jam so they block each other.

what's the best way to go about this?  a package move?  get ftjam
keyworded the same and change all the ebuilds that DEPEND on it at
once?  or change the ebuilds to do `|| (dev-util/ftjam dev-util/jam)`
first?

the ebuilds that this affects are:

/usr/portage/dev-games/cel/cel-0.98.2.ebuild
/usr/portage/dev-games/cel/cel-1.0.1.ebuild
/usr/portage/dev-games/crystalspace/crystalspace-0.98.4.ebuild
