My idea was symlinks in SVN.   When db-scripts find a package with 
pkgbase set, it should create symlinks for each of ${pkgname[*]} to 
$pkgbase (provided $pkgname[?] != $pkgbase).  If the symlink exists, 
they should check that it is already pointing to the right folder or 
otherwise there could be multiple packages with the same name.
