Future of ctags and etags in XEmacs

Hi, Recently an old Gentoo bug [1] was revived about a file collision between Exuberant ctags [2] and XEmacs and GNU Emacs. All of these applications try to install /usr/bin/ctags and would overwrite each other's binaries. We are currently discussing strategies to solve this issue, but I thought I'd raise the issue here as well. My current understanding, and please correct me if I'm wrong, is that: Exuberant ctags is more featureful (e.g. supports more languages) than the version shipped with XEmacs, and Exuberant ctags is not a full drop-in replacement for ctags in XEmacs. unbundle ctags from XEmacs and let people decide (with the distro providing a default) which ctags implementation to use. This would certainly solve our problem. I'd be happy to explore other solutions as well, and additional insight into this situation would be helpful.
