  That is going to have to wait a while.  I knew it should be there, but
the vertical split doesn't show up.  I did some Google searching.

  The current ebuild is screen-4.0.3, and up to screen-4.0.3-r4 (with
~everything) shows up after an "emerge --sync".  I can
"./configure --with-various-options && make && make install" with the
best of them (not that I know what I'm doing<G>), but the latest builds
of "screen" are in a git repository, which I'm not familiar with.  Plus
which, these builds could be alpha or very early beta, so I don't really
want to use them on a production machine.  Keywording ~amd64 ebuilds is
as much "bleeding edge" as I want to go.
