It's what they assume, too: You install to a separate prefix and I
strongly assume that this avoids this stupid self-conflict during build.

 

I've done this a bunch of times. When installing to different prefixes, it should work.

Seems like upstream wants to go modular after all, so perhaps the
separate spells are what's intended. I wonder how well versions mix.

I'm not sure what their long-term plans are, but all the standard stuff is included in the single tarball.

IME, mixing versions doesn't work well unless you are doing developer builds. Some modules refuse to run.
