I have not had a chance to file a bug, but I got it working by doing
the following:
whoosh was looking for
raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'sphinxcontrib-websupport'
distribution was not found and is required by Sphinx
So, I emerged that, but I had to use --nodeps because it wanted
whoosh first, and after doing that I was able to emerge whoosh. Very
nuts.
