Hmmm, this has a name conflict with another ace, from:
http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html
which has packages for Fedora named "ace":
http://dist.bonsai.com/ken/ace_tao_rpm/
These have existed for a while already.

So what is the way out of this mess? Right now the packages trip on each
other and they're completely different.

By the way, there's also a proprietary packer called "ace", but it has no
GNU/Linux version (only unace is available), so that one is unlikely to be
a problem.
