Re: Name clash in prospective package
It seems obvious from the responses I've had, that one of the programs needs
to be renamed (no other solutions were presented, and, frankly, I can't
really think of one that won't cause problems). If we assume this is the
case, it is fairly obvious which one should be renamed: the Mercury one.
Mercury's "mc" probably isn't often invoked by the average Mercury user -
it's normally called by the automated build tools that come with it. This
means that many users won't notice the change anyway. For anyone who's
interested, the new name will be "merc" (chosen by consultation with the
Mercury authors).
