That sounds like it could become very tedious if it branched out beyond
the headers specification...  perhaps generalizing the options so one
would say '--headers=sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.7-r4'.  It may be a
little longer, but it would cover any disasterous change, not to mention
being a little simpler to cut and paste.  It would also prevent
'--vheaders=2.6.7-r4 --vgcc=19980921-r2 --nheaders=linux26-headers
--ngcc=egcs64-sparc'

No, I know nothing about sparc or egcs, just thought it made a good
point.  

I'll try to make the change tonight and see what it looks like.

Cooper.
