Thanks, I'll try that - btw (so I can learn more about the portage system)
a) what's the difference/function of emerge and ebuild, and b) why "qmerge"
in the above command, what does that stand for/mean?

Well I'm trying to find more about patch, though it doesn't seem official,
and there isn't much comment on it. See:

I will post here when I have found out if it works for me.
