Ughh, We are running on a temporary server and I wanted to let the
mirrors pick up the package before announcing it here. You could have
waited for the announcement at least :(

Fixed in CVS.

I don't think this could be done and I also don't think it's a good
idea to fiddle with autoconf internals. People who install a
development version with reading INSTALL or README (which both contain
the warning) IMHO deserve to have their installation screwed up badly.
And actually, there aren't many files clashing. gimp-2.0 will continue
to work even after you installed gimp-2.1 into the same prefix. It's
just compilation of plug-ins against gimp-2.0 that will break.
