We haven't completely solved the coexistance part yet, but mainly due to time
constraints. What we do so far is only build those pieces of XC that are
different and rely on the PG packages for the rest.

As for the docs, I remember the clean target not removing the generated SGML
files. However, we do have the specific manpages in place and I do not remember
them needing any special treatment. But then I may have simply forgotton about
that one.

I think they have to be part of it. After all people might just install XC
without PG alongside it.
