We use SP6, so VC6 has to installed. It is again about avoid weird
issues about files missing or other possible issues. Standard setup
means it is easier to figure what is wrong when someone comes in to
get support.

Ah ok, so there is no naming conflict. There is a new feature not
available in 5.2 (debug mode). Not a reason to recommend to build it
themselves using CVS. We may add a note in the howto about the _debug
postfix and 5.2.
