Neil,
 Do you know of a source for the unsupported & hence deleted
profiles? I'm wandering around in the CVS attic. I don't see them,
presumably because they aren't something that was ever in portage, but
the attic is pretty deep and they could possibly be there in some
section I haven't noticed yet..

Thanks,
Mark
