Hi phma,
Make one SOURCE[0] and the other SOURCE[1] then use MD5[0] and MD5[1]
summon will download both, unpacking of either can be done in a
replacement PRE_BUILD (unpack ${SOURCE[0]} ${MD5[0]} with 0 being 0 or 1
depending on a conditional.)
or, in the DETAILS file, read what you set in CONFIGURE or PREPARE and set
SOURCE[0] and MD5[0] in a conditional to whichever one was chosen.
So many ways to do it...
I don't know why you can't have two separate spells. Seems simply cleaner
to have both, afterall, you can have both installed at the same time,
right? I like the two separate spells option, myself.
Also note my comment that LZW will expire soon.

Filed June 20, 1983
Expires June 20, 2003 assuming congress doesn't extend patent expiration
retroactively like they do on lots of profitable patents like
pharmaceuticals.
We'll have to change around all our notices soon. ;)
So, in short, change the MD5 like you do changing the SOURCE.
