Well, actually it just recently happened, if you count packages...
pc1:paul {101} where info
/usr/bin/info
/usr/pkg/bin/info
pc1:paul {102}
Which reminds me, now that info is built as part of src/gnu should we
remove the pkgsrc version of info? Or at least disable it if there's
already a copy in /usr/bin/info?
