 While the system/ folder will be replaced, other folders will be merged.
 If an inexperienced user attempts to install onto an existing partition
 with a different GCC, the system will be a mess. Maybe outright preventing
 this or displaying a different dialog would be beneficial?

 installoptionalpackage's DetectSystemConfiguration()] shows one method for
 detecting the main gcc and if it is a hybrid.
