Surely Python would be more Gentoo-ish? |

As to files in /etc, how about this as a first hack: modify etc-update |
| 7 |
so that an ebuild can mark a file in /etc as requiring manual attention |
| 8 |
and possibly an optional short text message. I'm not sure of the best |
| 9 |
way to do this, but maybe if etc-update finds an update file with some |
| 10 |
magic string as the first line then it will say that the file needs |
| 11 |
attention. The file could just be a pointer to the user to run |
| 12 |
GentooFontUpdater or whatever the new tool is called. |

It seems (more than) a little hacky, but I think that not touching files |
| 15 |
in /etc is a good rule, and think it's worth putting some effort into a |
| 16 |
way of not breaking it. |
