Thanks for the ref, Danek.

              If the value of this attribute is 'renameold', then the
               existing file will be renamed, and the new file will be put
               in its place.

               If the value of this attribute is 'renamenew', then the
               existing file will be left alone, and the new file will be
               installed with a new name.

               If the value of this attribute is 'strawberry', then the
               existing file will be left alone, and the new file will not
               be installed.


Any explanation for the term 'strawberry?' I'm put in mind of filenames 
like 'cherry.py' and suitably amused, but wouldn't something like 
'noinstallnew' be a bit more self-documenting?

Also, any control over what form the rename takes?

thx,  --emk
