went a little further.  Repackaged the source tarball so that the 
top-level directory ended in 2.0.4.  Build went further but I got 
something I've never seen before:

ACCESS DENIED  mkdir:     /usr/portage/distfiles/install
install: cannot create directory `/usr/portage/distfiles/install': 
Permission denied
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1

I've checked other systems and there is no install directory there so 
I'm not sure if it needs to be built first or or if the ebuild has just 
plain lost its mind.

very cool on the demo.  Unfortunately, I think I will be in the position 
of building from scratch as well if I can't figure out what isn't 
working by tomorrow afternoon.

The basis of Abelard's philosophy, which he taught to Heloise, was
that logic had to be applied to religion in order to arrive at the
truth.
