There's a new version of xdotool out. I've updated the xdotool ebuild to both take advantages of changes to the build system that have made it upstream, and to use the new version. Patches are forthcoming.

Thanks for submitting your version bump -- assigning to maintainer.
I've added x11-misc/xdotool-20091231.02 with the patches changed so they apply. Also INSTALLMAN="${D}usr/share/man" needs to be used to install the man pages correctly.
