It's considered inappropriate for this list, which is primarily for 
discussion of official Gentoo development technical issues and policy, 
with an eye toward the fact that it's a required subscription for every 
Gentoo dev.  Questions such as this don't need to bother all several 
hundred Gentoo devs and staff, including those on infra or who otherwise 
aren't working on ebuilds directly.

If you aren't an IRC type guy (I'm not), there are web forums or the user 
list, where you'll likely find help.  Of course, the user list is pretty 
high volume, off-putting to some, but the way the forums are splitup and 
the way they work makes for a more focused discussion.
