Description Alec Warner (RETIRED) archtester

Adding treecleaners@g.o to mask and remove this package. x11-themes/zinf-themes
will need to go too. I already talked to HumpBack about it.... his words in
#gentoo-dev "KILL KILL KILL".

Reasons: The package doesn't compile, there isn't a stable x86 version ported
to modular-x, it crashes for some people, it has no ebuild maintainer, no one
from sound team has stepped up to fix zinf, no release since 2004, the stuff in
cvs doesn't work (autogen fails), and it has an exec stack QA warning on x86.
Also, other packages offer the same look & feel and functionality (xmms,
audacious, bmpx, ...).
