21 Well, it could be done outside portage but that's probably not a good idea.

23 It is possible to write your own ebuild (which probably wouldn't be too
24 difficult) but you'll still need to add a local overlay to drop your
25 custom ebuilds in.

27 I haven't done this in quite some time now, but that program looks
28 interesting, now I want to try it myself! Tomorrow I'll look at it and
29 see if I can get it working. I'm in North America though so keep the
30 time difference in mind.

32 I better get back to work now...
