Add SLOT dependency information

[Comment 2 Tristan Heaven (RETIRED) 2009-02-05 20:05:14 UTC]

+In order to depend on a package in a specific <c>SLOT</c> you must specify <c>
+EAPI="1"</c>.


or EAPI=2

New patch for my oversight -- Thanks Tristan

Sorry about that. This patch has one assumption: that we always have numbered EAPIs(1,2,3,4...) and that we never remove SLOT dependencies. Both of these are reasonable expectations I believe, and any other solution would result in this section needing to be modified every time a new EAPI came out.

Added, thanks.
