I think it's reasonable to build voth versions by default, as there
are good reasons to have both around. You still have the configure flags
to adjust the details (default version, etc.).
Question is whether the current system of installation is fail-safe
on all systems, i.e. answer why in your case the wrong library came in.
Since these problems are reported rarely I assume that the current
way of doing things works in 99% ...
