Oops, hit send too quickly.

I see this in README.subset:

---
This distribution contains a subset of the e2fsprogs package; it
contains the base libraries (ss, et, uuid, blkid) which may be used by
other non-ext2-related applications.

This may be useful for non-Linux operating systems that need these
libraries for GNOME, but who do not need the ext2/ext3 filesystem
utilities.
---

From what I can tell, e2fsprogs and e2fsprogs-libs have mostly the
same KEYWORDS with a couple of exceptions:

x86-fbsd
x86-freebsd
x86-solaris

It hardly seems worth the effort to maintain 2 ebuilds for these small
platforms.
