Yes, that's how we'll do it.  Portage doesn't have the ability to auto-update
ebuilds to the most recent version available (at least not yet), so it's really
our only option (again, right now.)  When I get back to hacking on Portage,
that situation will change.  But until I have the time, we need to do things
within our existing framework and feature set.
