What I did in my MaInstaller was to have a #merge: function which
would normally be used all the time (instead of #install:).  So
whichever one was more up-to-date would be loaded or, even if they
were branches of each other it would still work too as long as there
were no method-level conflicts.  (If there are method-level conflicts
then the interactive Merge dialog is presented where the user can make
a choice and proceed with the rest of the install by clicking Merge).

If something isn't installed at yet, #merge: behaves exactly like #install:.
