as long as it's not officially used in the pkgutils.

Currently they aren't. On purpose, because I wanted to keep it simple, and
because in CRUX we just have one version of every package anyway. If another
package depends on software-x.y and CRUX features software-x.z instead, the
package must be changed so it can be compiled against -x.z. That's what
we're currently doing with libdb, where we have db-4.x instead of db-3.y.

If they're not binary compatible choose the newer stable version (i.e. kde3
vs. kde2, devfs vs. /dev, tmpfs vs. /tmp, etc.). CRUX is about having the
newest and fastest software too...

That won't come before we have at least a simple version checking ;)
