Ok, a couple of stumbles so far:
- The tarball is named "conflict.tar.gz" -- it would be easier if it were
  named "conflict-20040327.tar.gz"...  Not a biggie, though.
- The "make install" rule should install into ${DESTDIR}${exec_prefix},
  not ${exec_prefix} (same goes for manpages, etc).  I can do a quick and
  dirty hack, but what do you think would be the "right" way?

One last thing: are you willing to accept patches?
