Various Gentoo-related scripts for cron-based housekeeping

The scripts are:

• clean_distfiles - clean out the distfiles and packages dirs
• depclean - remove packages that are no longer needed
• eix_sync - synchronize our Portage tree to the master
• emaint_check - check for and peform routine maintenance
• emerge_check - check if there are any packaged to install/upgrade/downgrade
• emerge_tweet - alert the sys admin about the packages to be installed/upgraded/downgraded
• emerge_world - install/upgrade/downgrade our local packages
• enable_bash_completions - enable any available Bash tab completions
• get_news - report if there is any Gentoo news available
• glsa_check - check for outstanding security alerts on this system
• preserved_rebuild - correct issues created by upgrading shared libraries
• profile_check - check for new Gentoo profiles

Simply drop the files in /etc/cron.{daily,weekly}, edit to taste, and enjoy.
