I'm glad you're involved with Gentoo, Rich. I thought Doug Goldstein was
still taking the lead, and he seemed to have lost interest in maintaining
it (I can relate). I did notice the -fixes updates, but I hadn't seen any
0.27_pre ebuilds, so I just figured the project was languishing again.
Anyway, thanks for your help.
