[haXe] New and improved -neko and haxe gentoo ebuilds- as seen on TV

[Danny Wilson]

Hi all (gentoo users),

After reinstalling my system, I wanted to install haXe "the proper way".
I downloaded Dan's ebuilds and modified them to download sources from
CVS, apply CFLAGS from /etc/make.conf and check if boehm-gc is compiled
with the "threads" USE flag. After compiling neko, there's still a
warning about TEXTREL relocations. Also, the LDFLAGS from /etc/make.conf
aren't used yet. Maybe someone can help me improve the ebuilds in those
areas.
I haven't fixed mod_neko neither, so you'll have to wait for that a
little longer :-) .. maybe you can help me with that Dan?

Nicolas, It would be nice if the haXe install.ml script could accept
parameters, skipping CVS source download. Then I could make the ebuild
handle it .. saving you some bandwith on recompiles.

Anyway, download the overlay from http://decube.net/neko-haxe-cvs.tar.bz2

Time for bed o.O
