i think the idea is very good, but the ebuild needs some cleaning
1) the ln -s /usr/shar/dict /usr/dict can not be in src_compile - that
would among other things be a sandbox violation!
if that symlink is necessary, then we would have to wait for a new
baselayout to clean that up for us. Az?
also use dosym for that.
2) make all || die
3) preplib - i have never used that one, but doesn't prelib /usr/lib
work?
4) use dosym for the ln -s - those are sandbox violations again
now, I am no cracklib expert, so i can not comment on whether it works,
but it looks alright...

it is important that also the sparc gang tests this, but i would expect
that this is pretty platform independant...
good job there!
