[gentoo-dev] gaim compiles OK without 'gnome' in USE; pan still broken

[Gold is Heavy]

Hi Gentoo Hackers,

Taking out 'gnome' from USE flags allowed me to get a useful gaim executable.
So far so good!  I might even stick gnome back in there...

But Pan still gives me the same problems :(.  I would hate to think that Pan 
is tied to Gnome.  Even so, I do have all the stuff that Martin suggested, 
and pan still doesn't work :(.

OOPS!!  I apologize! :)

On the second thought, I think ALTERNATIVE variable is not that useful.  It's 
probably better to just hand-code the .ebuild scripts to do the right thing.
