i don't understand why it isn't just merged ?  this isn't something that is 
really all that complicated, in many cases the "portable" is pretty much the 
same, and most distros are going to be applying this anyways ...

for example the math change:
	-[eu_version=$[($eu_version + 999) / 1000]]
	+eu_version=$(( (eu_version + 999) / 1000 ))
same # of forks, and same number of paren/brackets ...

yeah, we used to apply that patch.  seems it was dropped at some point in 
Gentoo, but don't know why.
