18 Having single location for this functions allows system wide
19 customization of colors...

21 Personally I'd like to have this functions in separate package. What if
22 we'll provide two tarballs from the single openrc sources, e.g.
23 efunctions.tar.bz2 and openrc.tar.bz2, and correspodingly two packages?
24 openrc tarbal will have code for efunctions included but its
25 installation will be disabled in ebuild. This way we'll have full openrc
26 sources for those who need it and in Gentoo we'll have separate package
27 with efunctions for other packages to depend on.
