Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

The ebuild is a good example of which ebuilds we should _not_ keep in the tree:

- the X USE flags, if disabled, will cause the econf to fail (broken configure.ac);
- the gtk USE flag actually patches out gtk support; 
- it still uses gtk 1.2, have fun!;
- it does not depend on the x11-proto packages for the proper includes;
- the latest upstream version 2.0.1 was added in 2002, two revisions later the code is likely bad;
- it ignores CFLAGS set at compile, it pre-strips files;
- it provides an old modutils configuration file...

Can we just kill this, please?

Thanks,
Diego
