I don't think this could be done and I also don't think it's a good idea to fiddle with autoconf internals. People who install a development version with reading INSTALL or README (which both contain the warning) IMHO deserve to have their installation screwed up badly. And actually, there aren't many files clashing. gimp-2.0 will continue to work even after you installed gimp-2.1 into the same prefix. It's just compilation of plug-ins against gimp-2.0 that will break. Sven
