  I can't find such an ebuild.  For the time being, I've set commands in
/etc/sudoers.d/ to have root mount the tablet, with the "allow_other"
option enabled.  And also the unmount equivalant.  I notice that mtpfs
doesn't see the "My Documents" folder on the tablet.  I assume it
doesn't like spaces in directory (and possibly file) names.

  That'll have to wait until after I get back from a trip next month.  I
want the tablet working properly when I go on the trip.  The camera is
actually quite good for a tablet.  When I get back, I'll get the tablet
rooted, and maybe go to CyanogenMod.  "Nuke and re-pave".
