Sorry about the messed up Reply-To on this one.  Slip of the D key.

That's not going to happen.  Not as long as I am maintaining SAMBA :-)

Separate ebuilds is not clean.  Overloading USE flags is also way off
base; they are not meant to designate subpackages.

Unless subpackages are supported by Portage in some official fashion,
I'm not playing ball.  That's really what the people are asking for.

So, design subpackages support.  Then the ebuilds can be changed.
