Dunno folks, but spending hours compiling this only to fail on a pretty much useless piece of doc file could plain drive me mad; please remove the pointless die from the ebuild.

Upstream has moved the file to admin/notes/multi-tty today.
Fixed in CVS, thanks for reporting.

The point of it is exactly that such things like upstream moving files around don't pass unnoticed. Besides, mentioned dodoc is the very last command in src_install, so it is trivial to recover.
