i have written an ebuild for gentoo linux.

the only thing i can say it does work on my box ...
but maybe there is something wrong with the dependencies.

also, on my box, using German localization, the umlauts "üöä" are
replaced with ??. maybe thats due to utf-8 not enabled on my system.

don't know if the ebuild should filter this or the program ...

also there is no mac support. maybe i will write an ebuild for libmac if i
got some spare time.

i could not find an ebuild using google. i will add this to some gentoo 
forums aswell
