  I do not want to input umpteen files names, or even extensions.  The
man page says nothing about masking out directories.  Here's what I had
on my system a few minutes ago before executing
"rm -rf /usr/lib/systemd/"

  Maybe I should simply make a wrapper script that throws in...
"rm -rf /usr/lib/systemd/" at the end of an emerge.
