It shouldn't make a huge difference in startup time if it is in
$PREFIX/lib. And even if it does, how often do exit and restart it in a
day?

I like to have libswt standalone, as it seems to be useful to me to be
able to use it in own programs without the need to install eclipse too.

Override it. Just insert:
---snip---
do-install:
install foo
install bar
do this
do that
---snip---
or have a look at my lang/icc port to get an idea how to do nasty things.

It depends. Show me some examples (e.g. as a diff) and we can talk about
it.

I don't understand. You aren't talking about
diff -duH "foo bar.org" "foo bar"
are you?
