30 Thanks. If I recall we were using grab_file(). I need to re-work it, as
31 it currently treats it only as a file. I'll have to bring up a dialog
32 showing the subfile options when someone wants to add a package to one
33 of the package.* directories.

35 I also just did a man portage and the man page did not appear to be
36 updated for this change.
