One additional note. Except for time spent compiling, this only took
about 3-4 hours. A lot of it was learning how virtual ebuilds work
(which led me to discover I needed to emerge awesome so that depclean
would drop knotify), and much of it was scratching my head over
circular dependencies and identifying the right point in the ring to
--unmerge to break the graph cycle.

I've been working from home all day today on the system. Only glitch
I've encountered was that I forgot to reset my .asoundrc after
removing pulseaudio.
