Oh, no problem at all, multiple people have said it's very good.  And
with a prebuilt binary package it's probably a very different install
experience.  I'm actually kinda hankering to give it a good try.  I'd
just forgotten *why* it was that I'd passed on trying to install it on
Gentoo.

Maybe when it and the libraries it depends on become stable, I'll give
it another look.  But not right now.
