The sci packages and dos2unix are under my control.
Others are maintained by net-...@gentoo.org, hwoar...@gentoo.org,
volk...@gentoo.org freedesktop-b...@gentoo.org.
And will add it or not to all sci-biology/{emboss,ambassy} packages.
But I would agree with Mike in defaulting to LFS.

I read about this on the wiki to be sure it was what I thought it was. Isn't this the default about everywhere else? I agree with Mike, why not just turn it on as a default setting? Dale :-) :-)
