Thanks, Aaron. That's great news for any Gentoo users because 0.5.9
(which, I now see, is only 3 days old) is "hard masked", and many people
wouldn't want to put a hard-masked version of anything as important as
HAL on their machines. (I did it anyway today, and it's fine so far.)
And since there is no 0.5.8 in their portage tree, 0.5.7 is really the
only option for most Gentoo users.
