Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev

Support for PROPERTIES="live" has been suggested for Portage some time ago, see bug 233589.

This should be also documented as an allowed token for PROPERTIES in PMS. Suggested definition:

| live
| The package uses 'live' source code that may vary each time that
| the package is installed.

Since the spec also says that "ebuilds may not rely upon any token being supported", and I believe that we could simply add this without an EAPI bump.
