You are correct, sir!  So that  brings up a question I have had.  Why 
are the categories hard-coded in this file?  Drobbins, is this 
necessary?    It seems like it might be better to just look at the 
contents of /usr/portage to get this information.  That also makes local 
Portage setups a little easier.
