Also, for pure Gentoo needs it may be better to replace webapp-config with |
| 19 |
package manager and eclasses. |

So to install web apps to /usr/share or sth and provide apache config files to |
| 21 |
set up those webapps like Debian does for instance - so dispatch-conf would be |
| 22 |
utilized for tracking config file modifications and uninstall via unmerge |
| 23 |
