Could you remove these, please? They were modified versions of Gentoo's
ebuilds, except Teika Kazura felt it appropriate to delete the copyright
notices. This is completely and utterly inappropriate and probably
illegal.

If you would like to include the ebuilds, with appropriate copyright
notices, then there's no problem, though it probably won't help much.
It's easier to copy and rename the ebuild from Gentoo than it is to use
one bundled with sawfish/librep/rep-gtk, unless any significant changes
have been made to your copies (and none have, at least not yet). If you
feel it's nice to keep them anyway though, again with appropriate
notices, then don't consider this a complaint. :-)
