e16 -> actual enlightenment DR16
e17 -> actual enlightenment DR17

enlightenment -> fake spell that asks which e they want then depends on one
of the above 2 (try to determine which e they use and default to that one,
else default to e16)

e16-profile -> profile spell for e16 + other related stuff
e17-profile -> profile spell for e17 + other related stuff

enlightenment-profile (or e-profile) -> fake spell that asks which e they
want then depends on one of the above 2 (try to determine which e they use
and default to that one, else default to e16)

IMO.
