Oh, I think it's a pretty safe bet that *I* won't be kicked out of
Gentoo. But since you like that kind of argument, why do you love
Hitler?

The quoting is not the issue.

And this is the kind of short sighted thinking that leads to
maintenance nightmares later on. There are a lot of "I doubt"s and
"shouldn't"s here that don't apply to other solutions.

| Specially for you and your pink elephants:
| E_IUSE=${E_IUSE// X }
| E_IUSE=${E_IUSE#X }
| E_IUSE=${E_IUSE% X}
No go. Arbitrary whitespace is allowed.
And now maybe you start to see why a *proper* solution is required.

And the other E_ variables? Those have changed quite a bit.

I don't expect people to have faith in me. I expect people to read what
I say, think about it and then understand that I'm right.
