SLOTing is great when (say) verison 1.2 of a package works with both apache
and apache2, but it's not a complete solution when you need version 1.2 for
apache, but version 2.2 for apache2.
We can tell users to use /etc/portage/package.mask, but I want to get this
stuff working automatically, without the user having to do anything.

I'm open to better suggestions.
