The point is that we don't feel that you *can* write an ebuild "from
scratch" since it will require certain components, which we feel require
you to base your ebuild on skel.ebuild instead.  Basically, if it's an
ebuild and not something else (spec/pkginfo/control) then it is based
off the one skeleton ebuild which is father to them all, skel.ebuild...
