It looks like the numbers I get when running "md5sum <filename>", at 
least for files that I have not modified or deleted. "man portage" 
mentions files that portage uses, but not /var/lib/portage/config. It is 
either because the file is not meant to be edited by the administrator 
or a documentation bug.
