Symlink trees are ugly, as someone else mentioned, and not everyone= =20 will want them. Alternatively, as I suggested in a different subthread, make it a=20 separate package. Then people can install it if they want/need. This=20 package could even include a script that hooks into the existing portage=20 phase-hook structure, and presumably similar scripts for the other PMs,=20 thus making the whole thing automatic. --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred.
