Fair enough, I didn't realise indentation was so important in ebuilds. I
regularly use that for eg awk or ed scriptlets, and the indent breaks for
as long as the quotes are in scope (ie it gets left-justified.) Doesn't
matter in ebuild context, I guess, you're right: much more time is spent on
compiling the software. Just you brought up subshells wrt a fork to an
external binary.
