+Any file in this directory that begins with "package." can be more than just a 
+flat file.  If it is a directory, then all the files in that directory will be 
+summed together as if it were a single file.
+
+.I Example:
+.nf
+/etc/portage/package.keywords/kde
+/etc/portage/package.keywords/common
+/etc/portage/package.keywords/e17
+.fi
