That's all fine and good, but it gets a little hard when you get more than 
25 custom ebuilds.  The most optimal thing would be to set up a cvs mirror 
on SourceForge, just like the kde people did.  If you don't believe me, 
traceroute anoncvs.kde.org.  Look, I don't really understand why the 
maintainers are so dead set against mirroring the CVS tree.  It makes much 
more sense IMHO and everyone wins.
