14 | gotta love that ... well instead of adding cruft to every package,
15 what about

20 As much as it pains me, I must agree with Donnie. Adding a virtual/term
21 to current xterm functional equivalents may suck, but it sucks less than
22 ~ trying to track and add all new equivalents that appear in the future
23 and add them to xorg. Personally, I think one of the strengths of
24 Gentoo is its ability to cope with diverse prefered environments, and
25 that we ought to use virtuals wherever we can. All that abstraction
26 stuff they talk about in CS lectures and such, you know :-)
