As per summary, this is a last rites message for jmode.

It's an IME engine that still uses GTK+ 1.2 (we all know what that means), and 
that was last touched to fix something useful - beside the einfo -> elog move 
yesterday - on 2004-11-23, by usata, adding the following postinst message:

        elog "jmode is deprecated and not supported by upstream anymore."
        elog " Please consider switching to app-i18n/uim."

As the postinst is clear enough, the package is not available anywhere else 
beside x86, and the ebuild wasn't touched since 2004 to do some other fix, 
I'll remove it in 30 days from today.

Note: the gnome support is also tied to gnome 1.x that was removed from the 
tree already, does not work on gnome 2.x (the dependency is thus wrong).
