7 The tarball on the AMD website has all the binary blobs bundled
8 together. The ebuild simply downloads the tarball and extracts it to
9 the correct library directory. You could do it manually. The problem
10 with separate ebuilds is that one ebuild would be replaced with a couple
11 of dozen ebuilds, or one ebuild with a couple of dozen custom USE flags.
