Hi,
Some days ago added an ebuild to Bug-106642 (netqmail-1.05 actually).
The intention was quite the same, have only base install (with only
required & essential patches included). Adding more later throu USE.
But choose to keep the gentoo-style (quite fully used the
qmail-1.03-r16.ebuild, some 99%) of the ebuild.
Also this one's keeping gentoo's daemontools,ucspi-tcp etc packages.
Thanks. Rumen
