Description Ryan Hill (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

One of the difficulties in porting cronyx-fonts to use font.eclass (bug #304621) is that this package contains font files in multiple directories (75dpi/, 100dpi/, misc/), which the eclass doesn't currently support.  My current thought on how to solve this is just making FONT_S a space-delimited list of directories.  This should allow the needed functionality without breaking existing ebuilds.

No code yet, just making sure I don't forget it.

Now heavily tested.  Peter, could you give it a quick lookover?
