What the heck is this 'gentoo' thing, and how does it help? Shoving
newsdir into portageq doesn't help *at all* with multiple repository
support.
Like I said in a previous email, 'gentoo' corresponds to 'magic-chicken' in
your news-magic-chicken.unread files. The news reader app gets the repo
identifier from the news-*.unread files and plugs that into portageq to get the
directory where the corresponding new items can be found.
