Forgive me for saying so, but this ebuild seems a little off to me:

1. why install to /opt?
2. DEPEND s on a lot of optional stuff from my quick read of the dekagen docs this morning. Can you do DEPEND with alternatives? like 

DEPEND bladeenc|lame|vorbistools

3. aren't all the DEPENDS actually RDEPENDS as nothing at all is needed
to compile/install the program, other than bash and man which I believe
should always be present.

But I am open to education on these issues :-)

(By the way congratulations on the quick work, I started to do the same
thing, and got waylaid by my real employment :-)
