7 How big is the installation of findutils? If it's not gigantic (I don't
8 expect it to be) then I think this is a good idea. Keeping things
9 within the portage environment as similar to "mainline" as possible will
10 only avoid hassles. This, however does not encourage portage itself to
11 become more cross-platform, conforming the new hosts to portage.
