it's a source right?
i was afraid of that( that was the only thing that poped in my head when you
mentioned gentoo)
the problem is that i also don't have much web space and it's not a very
fast link :(

have you worked with rpm? can't you prepare a package similar to my XFree
source rpm's
my src rpms look like:
- we need a compiled XFree tree in the rpm build directory
- we link the XF tree to a new durectory (lndir -silent -ignorelinks)
- patch the new directory, cd to xc/programs/Xserver && make
- then install only the additional modified binary

do you think you can make similar package under gentoo?

best,
