OK, well with the attic, it was trivial to restore an ebuild. With Github,
it is more efforts, but many extol the virtues of restoring an ebuild from
github. Dev NP-hardass, was kind enough to post instructions [1], but
I have yet to fully test those steps. It would be very useful to see another
user follow NPH's instruction guide found at the bottom of the reference, to
install/restore an old ebuild, say in your /usr/local/portage/. If this
works well, with a bit of testing and more info, perhaps it could be placed
into the gentoo wiki for users to reference.

Do post back your experience with those instructions, should you give it a
test drive.

hth,
James
