Okay another package that we're shortening life's.
Why that? Well divx4linux is masked since 21 october, enough time to know that 
is going to be removed. It's also broken for recent x86 architectures, and 
it's x86 only.

All the useflags divx4linux are going to fade away, so you'll probably want to 
do an emerge --newuse world to make sure that the packages get updated.

Also drip 0.8 (stable version) is going away as it's depending scricly on 
divx4linux.

I'll start the clean after having dinner.

Steady on Diego - what replaces divx4linux then?

ffmpeg and xvid are enough to decode and encode divx files.

that avoids the implied question

can ffmpeg/xvid be used as drop-in replacements ?  or do upstream peeps need 
to write completely new code to use ffmpeg/xvid ?

Given that almost every application has support for xvid and ffmpeg and 
divx4linux is a legacy in most case...
