Here are some things I discovered while writing a standalone Gentoo profile parser that were not immediately clear and might need some clarification: * Line continuations are mentioned in make.defaults, and specifically disallowed in other files, but then left to interpretation (kind of) in other files. When I compiled a list of rules into the parser, I noticed line continuations are only allowable within make.defaults. Can line continuations be specifically stated as only allowed within make.defaults? * Again in make.defaults, the contents of the variables are never mentioned. These variables are almost always used for space-delimited values. Is this covered by PMS, in which it would suggest white-space delimited values for lists, or should I just try and interpret what portage will accept here? Right now I handle both spaces and tabs as proper delimiters, to be on the safe side. These are nit-picky, so I totally understand if you mark this bug as WONTFIX. (Besides, I've gotten in trouble when I posted patches that, even though they made it into SVN, were incorrect, so I thought this time I'd throw my thoughts out there and let you guys handle them this time.)

No progress since 8 years. Closing.
