We are having a discussion about an issue that we obviously think is
important. If you don't agree just delete the mails. This is a
developers mailinglist for discussions about descisions. It is also a
community project so people are free to disagree with drobbins about
various issues.

If you are not interested in developers discussions there now are a
gentoo-user mailinglist.

This is not a problem if you like me always puts the \ at the very end.

Imho, this is much harder to read and is it possible to align on -- for
the configure-lines (so that all flags get alligned with just hitting
TAB once?)
