Well, it wasn't entirely obvious to me. However, that's probably because I'm
too new @ the concept of portage. If you guys are going after a certain type
of technical user, then it's no big deal, but if you are going after user
friendliness, then there should be more done to prevent problems.
Sincerely, and with thanks,
