... oh, did you take over the GNUstep ebuilds?  If so, good.  It's  
not something I wanted to drop, but I found I was fixing more GNUstep  
bugs, than writing ebuilds, and then life got in the way ...

It would be helpful to have read access to, or at least daily  
snapshots of, all pertinent resources.  Firstly, the prefix-enabled  
portage.  Secondly, I'm not sure if a prefix-enabled ebuild tree was  
started or not, but if it's needed I can help set one up on one of my  
servers, or *shudder* on my dreamhost account, otherwise, access to  
the current one would be great.

Can this be arranged fairly quickly?
