It's time to add a "offendme" FEATURE similar to the "offensive" USE
flag. Unsetting the FEATURE should add --exclude '*fuck*' --exclude
'*bitch*' --exclude '*evoluion*', etc. to the rsync command line. Boy,
I'd love to see that implemented :))

Also add dev-libs/hashit to the list. The last 4 letters are way too
offensive.

Anyone up for the GLEP?
