This also applies if you need to install anything from outside of portage. I deal with that by having a separate set calls deps that includes all such dependencies, and comments showing what needs them. I find this easier to manage than just bunging it all in one file and assuming I will remember what was for what in six month's time. -- Neil Bothwick 0 and 1. Now what could be so hard about that?
