33 I think I see it the same way he does. If you do a rm -rf
34 /usr/portage/distfiles/* and then do a emerge -ef world, then do the
35 eclean again, it should not remove anything since everything there is
36 needed to recompile everything in world and their dependencies. It
37 should also not have to redownload anything either.

39 Isn't patch part of system? setuptools too?
