		41	all Gentoo systems are completely broken (missing or mismatched header

		43	the Gentoo maintainer thinks it is a good idea to add broken patches to
		44	the code; and lastly, it should be called Gentoo GNU/Linux.
		45
		46	For these reasons, it is impossible to support rxvt-unicode on

		48	ignored unless they can be reproduced on non-Gentoo systems.
