Thanks for the pointer. Changed to ~x86.

Is there any way to test on Gentoo systems on the other platforms? Are
there any environments dedicated to this? If so, are they available
only to Gentoo committers or also to regular contributors?

I do have access to Linux 2.6/PPC and Solaris/Sparc systems and I did
test xmlenc on them, but these systems were not running Gentoo. So I
tested the original software and the Gentoo ebuild. So in principle
the ebuild /should/ work on other architectures that support Java.

Indeed I only put it in for my own interest. I've removed it now.

Oops. That would be unexpected behaviour to me, indeed. The reason I
split the two is so that the info in the die would be more precise.
I've combined them again.

Sounds good. Made the change.

As I said, I would indeed be very interested in testers, mostly for
non-x86 platforms.

I will submit it ASAP.
