19 I like the mock-up -- it's what I meant. Basically, what I was saying
20 is something like this: if the ebuild has a particular variable
21 (RELATED_DOC, say) defined, the notification message like yours would
22 be displayed. I tried to see if I could hack this up, but I couldn't
23 figure out where I could plug it in. I think the change is rather
24 trivial.
