One note:  sometimes these things do not co-exist too well (I think
Moire CDEV has to execute its INIT before Font/DA Juggler), especially if
they have related INITs.  If you find that changing the names causes
crashes at boot time, or even later, consider that changing execution
sequence may have caused the failure.
