  Hmm... The problem is the ebuild can't currently use the install
target because the file locations are incorrect for Gentoo[1]. Which
means it could require quite a bit of churn to keep it synced as the
build process changes.

  The patch that follows makes it easier to use the install target
within the ebuild. If this sort of change is acceptable then the ebuild
will be simpler, and it is more likely to stay working without me
kicking heaps of patches at you. Given that I'd say "yes, please include
it."

Thanks,

James
