  Sorry

Can't you pass the proper options as stdin?  I admit I've yet to get
that far, but was working on an xmltv .spec for Mandrake 9.0.  Granted,
this would break for different versions of xmltv, but I assume an emerge
as at least similar in concept to the rpm .spec file.

| Maybe best if it is added to the downloadable source tree.  Will have
to check
