15 Cool. It's great how gentoo just comes with everything already setup sweet.
16 I really do think it's the best Linux to develop on.

18 TBH I do most of my coding in kwrite or kate, so having the highlighting
19 really helps me, although I've only written 3 ebuilds so far :) so I
20 thought it might be of use to others too, who are definitely gonna write
21 more builds than me ;) Dunno how many others use kwrite/ kate mind but
22 maybe it'll help some people who've never written ebuilds.

24 The cool bit would be to get completion/ context help in kate. I have no
25 idea how that works, tbh, this is the first time i've even looked at it. I
26 reckon the descriptions of the fns from the devmanual would do, so i've got
27 them in a file with the fn names (that i used awk on to get the xml items.)
