The install-prefix of killall seems to have changed from /usr to / some time ago.
"dosym killall /usr/bin/pidof" stayed the same and there is no correct symlink
created anymore. However "baselayout" provides "/sbin/pidof" now and the wrong
dosym command from "psmisc" can be removed. Since many scripts still use
"/usr/bin/killall" the ebuild should create a symlink like the still
experimental psmisc-21 ebuild. Well either do the symlink in the stable 19-r3 or
put 21 out of experimental status.
