I have looked for a place where it is documented how to do that.  I know there is a lot of ways to add packages to those files with <=> and such in front of the package names.  Do you have a link to some docs on that?   If not, some examples would be cool.

Well, I was going to try adding the variable to make.conf as posted in another email.  I think that may be better since this seems to be a issue that is "in flux" at the moment.  ;-)
