Nice library for developers interested in International support. IBM Public License.

Since "dodoc" compresses the target file, "dohtml" is usually more appropriate for html files. Good job adjusting S appropriately. Unfortunately this messed up your "dodoc" line, I think. Did you check to make sure the readme was installed correctly? I would also recommend, in general, installing the license, especially when it's not one of the normal ones. I added a reference to ${PV} (package version) instead of hard-coding "2.0" in the SRC_URI path. I removed the infodir line, since this package contains no info files. I couldn't see any reason to leave it out, so I included "--enable-layout". Thanks for the great ebuild; sorry it took us so long to get to it. --Chouser
