[gentoo-releng] Adding pptpclient as sourcecode or GRP to LiveCDs

Would it be possible to add pptpclient as sourcecode and (if possible) as GRP
package to the LiveCDs? Users who want to install Gentoo using pptpclient
would otherwise only be able to go as far as getting a base system without
the possibility to go on the I'net to update.

Wkr,

Not if the user wants to do a GRP installation. I know it sounds weird, but
I've had a user doing a GRP installation, only noticing afterwards that he
needs pptpclient to go on the Internet.

Of course it is resolveable by rebooting with the LiveCD, getting the
connection working, chrooting and emerging it after an "emerge sync", but
my userfriendly side forces me to ask to include it :)
