If anyone would like to help me converting random packages/categories, it would be GREATLY appreciated. This is difficult work and it has literally taken up almost all of my free time for the past 2 days or so, but I have well over half the tree converted. just dev-util/pkgconfig -> virtual/pkgconfig and if the dev-util/pkgconfig is versioned, i've been dropping the version since 0.26 is the only fd.o version in the tree and the alternatives are all 0.26 compatible. Here's the list i've been working off of: http://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/genrdeps/dindex/dev-util/pkgconfig (It's not the most up-to-date, but it works well enough.) I am willing to finish this myself, but as I said, help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
