There are some other miscellaneous lam-mpi / mpich 
dependencies/conflicts/gotchas in Portage; you probably won't see them 
unless you're using ~x86 and trying to load the R packages that use 
them. When I get some free time I'll document everything in Bugzilla.

Meanwhile, speaking of R, they are at R-2.2.0 and counting -- 2.3 should 
be out in the spring. Portage appears to be stuck at R-2.1.1. Is there 
any reason there hasn't been an R version bump?
