libftdi ebuild

libconfuse ebuild

I'm reassigning this back to the bug wranglers since this seems like more of a
dev-libs ebuild than a sys-* one.

Does the first ebuild work with libftdi-0.4?
Does the second ebuild work the  libConfuse-2.4

different confuse-2.4.ebuild

well, my afford to make a confuse-ebuild.

both ebuilds have some features which the other hasn't.
We should merge it somehow!

Don't let me stop you :-). And can you kindly obsolete the old ones when you've
finished. Thanks.

libftdi works by renaming to libftdi-0.4.ebuild
confuse needs to be renamed to confuse-2.4.ebuild and it's SRC_URI changed to SRC_URI="http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/confuse/${P}.tar.gz" looks like they have changed the main download location

as for the other confuse-2.4 ebuild, sure they can be combined, I just made these for me, figured that someone else may use them thus I submitted - to be honest I just copied the workings of the libusb ebuild, when I made the ebuilds I was to busy to learn how to write an ebuild from scratch given University projects, which are all over now ;) - if it wasnt 2am atm I would look more closely at the differences between them, will take a proper look tommorow (and at doing more than a copy for libftdi, though it seems to work just fine)
