If the _only_ difference between kaffe and kaffe-nox11 is an extra library
(i.e., the binaries do not change), this is the wrong approach.  (Haven't
checked, but looks like it).

If so, 'kaffe' should be a package without X support and 'kaffe-x11' sould
only install the libawt library.  This way, packages do not conflict, and
you can add x11 support as a "plugin" whenever needed (not the other way
around).
