Support for multiple installed versions of a program.

2002-01-31 Thread Rob Browning
[ In summary of what's below, I'm asking asking if there's upstream interest in trying to get info pages to handle the installation of multiple versions of a given program gracefully. ] I hope I have the right list, and I hope this hasn't already been discussed to death. If either is false,
