Xscreensaver conflicts

xscreensaver-gnome-hacks will not install if xscreensaver is installed
("write files to the same place")

gnome requires xscreensaver-gnome-hacks

kde4 requires xscreensaver

It appears to me that if you force pkg_delete of xscreensaver and install
xscreensaver-gnome-hacks first, you can reinstall xscreensaver without
complaints.

I grepped UPDATING for xscreensaver without any hits and do not find this
documented.  I suspect the conflicts line in the Makefile
xscreensave-gnome-hacks is not accurate.
