When I first emerge ingen from the overlay I had to do some edits to work,
hence my commits to ingen and related software after that. I did think about
snapshots because those repo change often and I really liked ingen. Then I
read a mail with David Robillard saying that he considers ingen not ready yet
and he would prefer them not to be packaged, so I stopped updating them.. This
was some time ago so maybe this has changed now. The last time I touched them
was purely to match categories by portage when they landed there.
