the URL is a great info to have. However some program have been
modified to suite gentoo. and this is the reason why i think there
should be a readme.

I don't think it too much extra work.

If you think about it. It's just a small portion of the time it
takes to make the actual ebuild.
I do appreciate what people do here, building ebuils and all.

I haven't does this yet. Gonna try to make one in the future i hope.
