Good.

I thought about suggesting a postsync.d mention too, but decided that it 
might be old/stale cruft related to the ed catmur scripts that I used to 
run that seem to be the basis of some of these recent portage extensions 
(like /etc/portage/patches, and this one too, IIRC) as I didn't see 
anything in the portage (5) manpage about it.

So unless the portage docs for postsync.d are there and I just missed 
them, you/I/we might want to ask the portage folks about including the 
documentation in the portage manpage as well.
