Thanks for the testing, Grant.  I think we should patch dcron's crontab
command to look at the EDITOR variable, rather than VISUAL.  Best to keep
things consistent.

[gentoo-dev] various errors w/ a new install

[Grant Goodyear]

The libgd ebuild  refused to build for me because "freetype.h" couldn't 
be found.  According to the ebuild, there is a 
"~media-libs/freetype-1.3.1" dependency, but for some reason emerge
was satisfied w/ freetype-2.0.5.  I emerged 1.3.1 by hand, and I'm hoping
that both freetypes will coexist nicely.

For some reason using crontab -e gives a
"/bin/sh: /usr/bin/vi: No such file or directory".
I put in a symlink to vim.  We should probably add VISUAL=nano to
/etc/profile, since that's our default editor.

Bug confirmed and fixed.  This'll be rolled into a new version of Portage
released tomorrow.  Thanks again, Grant! :)
