[gentoo-dev] addition to system profile

[Andrew Gaffney]

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but I believe that 
gentoolkit should be added to the system profile. A good chunk of 
people's questions on -user are answered with "use 'qpkg this'" or "do 
'epm that'". Instead of having to emerge it when you first need it, it 
would be nice if everyone had these utilities by default.

It's not too hard to "emerge gentoolkit" and there are users that don't
need these utilities installed, so there's no reason to put them in the
system profile.

Also, epm is currently maintained as a separate ebuild from gentoolkit.
