Try this:
emerge sync
emerge gentoolkit
makewhatis
apropos gentoo

I'll see if we can't add the Gentoo keyword to all our other tools' 
man page descriptions as well. 

Naturally, I think unifying the nomenclature is a good thing, but I'm
not entirely certain I want long names for my tools. I find apropos
to be a better solution for that.


Kind regards,
