That actually was the approach of the original, pre-pd-extened build
system in the CVS: Instead of including all versions of an objectclass
name, only one would be chosen to be included in the build system and
in releases. Pd-extended instead opted to use a build and packaging
system that could include all versions of, say, [gate] , but put them
in different subdirectories. The side effect is that now everything is
in subdirectories and it's hard to tell, which [gate] you mean if you
just write [gate]. 

Ciao
