The message displayed by the src_install() function of this package, states the following: Portage will automatically take advantage of ccache with no additional steps. This would make one think that FEATURES=ccache is enabled by default and ccache will be used by the next emerge. This, however, isn't the case. I think this message should be reworded to make that clear.
