Not Charles either, but I echo that sentiment.  The two versions can
coexist on the same system, since they don't use the same configuration
file directory.  I've tried switching to the new version several times,
but so much was missing I went back to the CVS one.  So I'd recommend
something along the lines of having a pan command and a pan2 command
either in the same package or in separate packages.
