+# sys-boot/mbr-gpt was a bizzare package extremely sensitive to compiler &
+# linker changes. I don't know of any remaining consumers other than one weird
+# system I have.
+# If you're a consumer: syslinux gptmbr was the successor to this approach,
+# you'll need to replace the contents of your BIOS Boot Partition, because it's
+# not a direct 1:1 change.
+# Only upstream release in 2008. Removal in 30 days.
