Hi,

In trying to track down some of the dependency problems/mess in the KDE stuff, 
I come to you with a question:

How are DEPEND="" statements handled when inheriting an eclass?  That is, if I 
do this:

inherit blah

DEPEND="pkg1 pkg2"

How does the inheritance of blah have an effect on the DEPEND="".  Does it 
just overwrite it, does it append.. etc?  Or is it "proper" to tack in a 
DEPEND="$DEPEND pkg1 pkg2"?  What about RDEPEND automagically getting DEPEND 
values?

Sorry if this is stupidly obvious, but it's not addressed in the docs and 
nobody has been able to answer the question thus far.

Thanks,
Caleb
