Description SpanKY gentoo-dev

done in the ebuild you'll find this:

        use qt && ( \
                export QTDIR=/usr/qt/2 #hope this helps - danarmak
                myconf="${myconf} --with-qtdom"
        )

this will not actually modify the variable myconf outside of the subshell ...
i didnt scan the whole ebuild, so i'm not sure if this is the *only* time this 
happens ...

oh, i forget to mention that this would work:
use qt && {
 myconf="${myconf} blah blah"
}

notice usage of { } instead of ( ) ...
