Maybe you should consider using a different ProjectRoot setting for each
release, for example:

#define ProjectRoot                 /usr/XFree86_4.3.0
#define NothingOutsideProjectRoot   YES

that should ensure that no existing files get overwritten (unless you happen
to already have stuff installed under /usr/XFree86_4.3.0).

Is anyone interested in seeing it resurrected?   Maybe the 'xmseconfig'
command (which relies on parts of the XF86Setup code being installed) could
be useful still.
