Alexander, I had a short look at it and saw there are many problems with the ebuild. Upstream is dead too, and the source is only available in the mirrors.

I prefer to remove it from the tree. There are many alternaitves, for this functionality. (dev-util/dwdiff and more)

Do you need this package?

> Do you need this package?

No, I don't use it. I spotted the typo by chance when
searching for something else.

Since the package was revbumped only 8 weeks ago for
bug 622878 (where the typo was introduced) I thought
there would still be some interest in the package.

All I was suggesting is adding a single character to
fix the last commit, but I don't care if you remove
the package instead.

Removing per last rites.
