Multiple, in no particular order:

 1) Merge them into a single project
 2) Rename them so they are distinct projects
 3) Ensure they all implement a common API subset

Sure, I'm only partly serious. We *do* have too many zlib bindings
called lzlib, and it was driving me mad enough without learning that
another was just born! But I understand you had good reason to.

I'd love to see a solution to the situation, but am not in a position
to myself right now. I guess the original authors are either busy,
absent or simply not motivated enough to implement any of the
solutions right now.
