I haven't had the energy to read all the mails over all the dynamic
deps thread...

the -r1.1 syntax has been in use by the prefix since early in it's
existence.  I haven't kept track, but they may have finally done away
with it.

There are many other problems with using that syntax, namely most other
tools are not compatible with it, so more than just portage needs to be
modified.  Adding that syntax to ebuilds will cause disruptions and bugs
for years to come.

So, please, forget about this syntax as a viable solution.
