hi,

i updated the ebuild to use the PREEXEC_COMMAND patch from http://netzverschmutzer.org/~rvb/scripts.shtml

this patch modifies bash so that the contents of the shell variable
PREEXEC_COMMAND will be executed before bash will execute a command.
it also modifies bash to set the array CMD to the current running
program + arguments. for example PREEXEC_COMMAND='echo -en "\033]2;${CMD[*]}\a"'
will update the title bar of xterms with the current running command.
in conjunktion with PROMPT_COMMAND which is by default in
/etc/skel/.bashrc this keeps track about which command you're running
in which xterm. i would suggest if this patch gets applied that
the above PREEXEC_COMMAND statement is inclued in /etc/skel/.bashrc
