Corrected ebuild version

Trying to install current ~amd64 keyworded x11-misc/svkbd-0.2.1-r1 package results in a nearly non-functional product: Several binaries (resembling various keyboard layouts) get installed, but all of them are equal. They all start the "arrows" layout which is not really useful if one want's to really get a virtual keyboard for e.g. a touchscreen. This seems to be caused by the compile process only *really* preparing the first layout in the list. 

While trying to fix this, I encountered that there is a much newer version available upstream (0.4.1) which (for me "magically") fixes this issue and builds all individual binaries. The current ebuild only needs slight modification to avoid installing the object files (see attachment, modified "doins" bash wildcard).
