Hi,

I just installed multimedia/tovid successfully, and when I tried to run it it 
failed to start

[tap at ping ~]$ tovid
Found 2 installations of tovid on your system!
I won't run until there is only one of me :)
Installed versions:
   /usr/local/bin/tovid
   /usr/X11R6/bin/tovid
Exiting...
[tap at ping ~]$  

I'm guessing this is fallout from the xorg modular change, where /usr/X11R6 is 
a symlink to /usr/local. The function doing the checking is in tovid-init, 
but I haven't yet worked out how to fix it up for dealing with this case.

For now, I've removed the check altogether.

Andy
