6 Stage1: Changing CHOST= and run ./bootstrap.sh
7 (well you can do it but it's dumb)
8
9 Stage3: has full cxx/berkdb/ssl/pam/libwrap and all the cruft pulled in
10 from having use flags enabled thats not easy to get rid of otherwise.
11
12 I don't care what you do with the docs, but the stages 1, 3 need to
13 stay. stage2 has always been a bonus stage more or less added into the
14 mix cuz it's a byproduct of stage building (pre catalyst days).
