OK, sorry about not responding yesterday - I was asleep (different time 
zones). Anyway, I'll add this to incoming, hopefully since it's just an 
update it'll be into cvs in a day or two.

BTW, drobbins, IMHO we should do something special with incoming updates, 
since they can be checked in and tested quicker than a new ebuild, but only 
by the original ebuild's author or someone who knows the package well. Maybe 
a change in dev-wiki - adding items to other developers (maybe only for 
incoming) or, failing that, having all unassigned team todos show up on the 
main team page. What do you think? Maybe I'm just making too much o the 
incoming buisiness?
