User here.  I'd be happy to try and release a Gentoo ebuild in an overlay,
but I'd want an RC first, versus live ebuilds, which kind of suck, since I
believe they force a fresh build for every source update.  I'd also be
somewhat curious about trying to do a homebrew package for OS X, but from
lurking on this list I suspect there's already some folks who might know
how to do that already, but if not I'm happy to give it a shot.
