After a long silence this group has become quite vocal about the filename
conflicts in NFSS2. Here are my 2 cents (pennies?): I installed all the
NFSS2 related files (.sty and .fd) under a subdirectory (called NFSS2) of
the main directory where TeX input files are stored. If a user wants to use
NFSS2 she/he sets the environmental variable TEXINPUTS so that this
subdirectory appears BEFORE the main directory; otherwise the old style
files will be read. I know this solution is not OS-independent ... I would
also prefer to have `master' style files that input the appropriate style
files (which I would rather store in different subdirectories to avoid
clutter).

Anyway, I find it more disturbing that the user-interface to NFSS2
(especially regarding mathematical typesetting) has changed so much with
respect to NFSS1. Luckily we haven't yet used NFSS too much ...
