Is that an acceptable solution for you ? Alternatives makes sense when two packages provides the same service. With free42, different users may use different settings (or, a user may use different settings). Building two executables is fine. You can even have a single manpage (see for example grep, egrep, rgrep). Cheers -- Etienne Millon
