Aircrack-NG SVN Ebuild, Rawspeed is a No Go

I was going to attempt making a Rawspeed SVN ebuild but the repository only has a VS solution file. Yuck. So I'm not going to touch that one until there is some kind of Linux build system in place. I've been filling up my time lately with the new Aircrack-NG. SSE2 support was added which speeds things up tremendously. Performance improved by more than 300%. The only issue I had was getting it installed. I'm lazy so the first thing I tried to do was just rename the RC1 build from portage to RC2 but it wouldn't compile because the released RC2 isn't 64-bit clean. It was fixed shortly thereafter in SVN. I threw together an ebuild quickly and got everything working in short order. The only complaint I have is that computed PMKs in Airolib-NG haven't sped up at all compared to the massive improvement in Aircrack-NG. I think I'll stick with the SVN version of Aircrack-NG for a while too see if the situation improves. Anyway here's the ebuild I used to get a working SSE2 version.

/usr/local/portage/net-wireless/aircrack-ng-9999.ebuild

Hey, I've noticed that you write alot of ebuilds. If you have a public repo available we can get you added to layman's list of overlays. Contact me via email because I probably won't check back on this post. darkside at gentoo.org

cheers.
