DEPEND="gtk? ( x11-libs/gtk+ )
        esd? ( media-sound/esound )"

Hmmm, unversioned gtk+ dependency, esd use flag, both doing absolutely nothing useful in the ebuild. Eh.

This ebuild is totally broken.

As noted here originally, it doesn't compile the kernel module (would have to inherit linux-mod for this and actually do something with the code in src/Unix/Linux/NetDriver, but I very much doubt it even compiles without patches with current kernels)

For move phun:

./configure --help

I nominate this package for removal.

-"non-active" upstream.
-Only guaranteed to work on old versions of MacOS.
-Broken version in tree -> no maintainer.
-No one has stepped up in 3 months (rather short time, but this looks /non-trivial/ to fix anyway)

Please vote. +1 here.

# Masked for removal in 60 days. Broken package, needs love due to automagic
