Okay this one is a no brainer, so I went ahead and committed it.  Please review and make sure there isn't something subtle here that I may have overlooked.

Yeah, accidentally dropped here:

http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/media-libs/aalib/aalib-1.4_rc5.ebuild?r1=1.27&r2=1.28

Thanks for catching/fixing it!
