Description SpanKY gentoo-dev 2013-01-15 05:26:17 UTC 
can we start issuing a warning when people run `emerge` or `repoman` if deprecated paths are found such as:
  /etc/make.conf
  /etc/make.profile
  /etc/make.globals
(i think those are the only historical paths)

if someone accidentally creates that path in new installs, it's not obvious that it'll get used in place of /etc/portage/xxx.

This is fixed in 2.1.11.42 and 2.2.0_alpha153.
