hmm, actually emake itself has a || die statement, so this change
shouldn't be necessary (but it's policy, so it should be changed).

Submit a fixed ebuild on bugs.gentoo.org , maybe with a little
explanation of the error. Such a trivial fix should be commited in less
than 24 hours.

There are currently ~150-200 people with write access to cvs and that's
already more than the cvs server can handle. For obvious reasons we
can't give non-developers write access to the tree, after all we need
some credibility and QA.

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.
