So long as all new file and directory names are unique in a case-insensitive environment, conflicts with old names can (and should) be handled at install time. For 'make install', this might best be handled by the imake rules for creating directories and installing multiple data files. Installation scripts for binaries (like Xinstall.sh) may need to be modified to handle such things too. >BTW, what did you think of my proposal for these files? I like it. I'd probably add that the naming of secondary maps should be consistent when possible. Things like swapping Ctrl and CapsLock are currently handled as variants, since they are changes that should be independent of the base maps. I think they should continue to be handled that way. Other parts (like geometry files) should have a policy too. Do we want to keep the "keymap" directory and its associated files? The rules method is much more flexible.
