Okay, so I stand corrected about them approving it.  Where is the
approved specification though?  PMS is still a draft the last time I
heard, and if it isn't, we should have a non-moving version that is
authoritive about EAPI=1.  (And no, the man pages are not a
specification, nor is a list of bugs...give us one document that we can
point to)

I can get it put into devmanual as soon as I can find the approved
authoritative source to base information off of.
