Sorry, but I don't understand. Exuberant installs a ctags binary and
(if configured with the --enable-etags option) an etags symlink
pointing to it.
Why would the argument be different for the case of two separate
binaries, as opposed to one binary and a symlink to it? Either way,
there will be name (and file) collisions.
