KIMURA,

Sounds good. I'll probably change a few things while I'm at it. Any
reason you use $package-hg instead of $package-9999? I'm just wondering
as I've always used 9999 to indicate tip in my ebuilds.

Kris,

* I notice in the official ebuild, and KIMURA's ebuild there is some sed
hacking of config.mk. Does it make sence to just package a
config.local.mk with the ebuild, or is there some reason why sed hacking
is better?

* Can I safely assume that dmenu tip and libixp tip will be dependencies
for wmii tip? Are there any others?

* I can, as KIMURA suggested, make this a suckless overlay. This might
warrent having it's own repo on suckless. I'll already be including
ebuilds for dmenu and libixp. I don't know if I'll get around to making
ebuilds for all suckless packages, but it's a good starting point if
someone else comes along with some more. What do you think?
