[gentoo-dev] libxml++ ebuild

[Max Kalika]

I just noticed that libxml++ 0.21 went into portage.  I had a look at this
ebuild to compare it to:

  http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14121

I'm curious on a few points:

1) Why hardcode an SF mirror instead of mirrors://sourceforge
2) Whats the use of src_compile() which only contains econf and email -- I
thought that was default?
3) Can the src_install() be augmented with the two dosym()s as described in
#14121 attachment #7892?  Some apps look for libxml++.a and by default
libxml++ installs libxml++-1.0.a (at least version 0.20 did).

Thank you.  I suppose #14121 can also be marked closed.
