Attached is an ebuild for the hfsplus utilities that are linked from the front of the http://www.penguinppc.org/ site. There are no odd tricks or patches for getting it to build, but it certainly is nice to have it in portage. The ebuild name is slightly different from the .tar.bz2 name the developer named it, but I think that my name makes it a little more clear and makes it match the hfsutils port. If you disagree, feel free to change it. The package depends on automake and autoconf, but has no particular runtime dependencies. Placing it in sys-apps/hfsplusutils would make it a sibling to hfsutils, and seems an appropriate place.

I added this build (had to modify a little of it) to portage and it is masked for testing, thanks
