After the occasional hoo-ha about naming of SlackBuilds for binary vs 
source code builds, I'd like to say how much I appreciate a maintainer 
aiming to "do the right thing".

It's a shame when maintainers of binary packages refuse to rename a 
package (by adding "-bin") to make room for a SlackBuild which builds 
the same package from source code.

For the future, could we add a criterion for new submissions requiring 
addition of "-bin" to the SlackBuild name when repackaging a binary 
download?
