These are ebuilds that I was writing myself, they haven't been added to 
ebuilds cvs yet. One is proprietory and couldn't be redistributed on ibiblio 
(http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8312). Any solution here?

Oh and I just discovered about adding stuff to /etc/env.d.. the ebuilds I've 
looked at seem to use xxpacakge for the name, does the xx mean anything or do 
we just start at 00 and work our way up?
