I see.  I guess this is a change in the new portage.  I *believe* that
previously the operators were explained in man portage, but I see now
that not even the old operators = >= <= are there but instead we are
referred to ebuild.

For my previous msg I just searched for ~ and didn't think of the
possibility that all the operators moved.

My error, sorry.
