Heh, you guess wrong :p
I actually just have virtual/jdk in world (I can't remember why I
didn't use virtual/jre instead) because of some binaries-only,
non-portage stuff I run.
What caught me off-guard was the fact that the upgrade did not offer
the -bin option. (Which, as I mentioned in a different branch of this
thread, you helped me figure out "why".)
Thank you again for all the help,
