[gentoo-portage-dev] recent changes in the way pkgsplit() and company work

Sorry, but I didn't have an internet connection for January to notice but when I
upgraded to 2.1.2-r7 pkgsplit, catpkgsplit, catsplit no longer accepted ebuild
strings with any atoms.  Porthole was crashing in several places.

I have changed portholes coding to work around it, but there are several more
bugs for me to fix before considering it for a new release (a few unfinished
features too).  My main question is what approximate time frame is if any being
considered for stabilizing the 2.1.2 version.  I will need to make sure I have a
release ready for porthole users.

Also, I had copied a little code from gentoolkit which also puked at the change
in strictness.  I don't know if that has been changed already.  It was in
split_package_name().  It was called from find_best_match() called from
get_system_pkgs().
