[gentoo-dev] need new virtual / questions about virtuals/masking/profiles

I'd like to add a new virtual "virtual/gnustep-back".  I've never
added a virtual before, so I figured I'd post and ask. ;-)  Currently,
in the old GNUstep packages in portage, there is only "gnustep-back"
as a package.  However, a handful of backends exist: gnustep-back-x11
(good default/okay for remoting/etc), gnustep-back-art (uses
libart_lgpl), and gnustep-back-cairo (is in development, atm).  There
are also backends for Cygwin / MingW on Windows, for example.  Using
GNUstep involves having one of these backends.

So, considering all this, where/how/to-what do I add this virtual?
I'd like to add it to "all systems that can run X11" (for the 3
available x11 dependant back ends), but there is also the possibility
for cygwin / mingw GNUstep on windows.  Granted, GNUstep on Gentoo on
Linux doesn't work on arches other than x86, ppc that well atm, but it
can and likely will.

I've probed around in the profiles directory in portage, but I fear
that .../profiles/base/virtuals may not be the right spot for this.
But I just don't know.

Also, I've heard there was a virtuals doc, possibly...am I just not
able to easily find it?

Any thoughts on all this, and especially what I may be overlooking,
would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
