The dependency on previous installation of theide can be overcome. There is a generic Makefile, that can build any U++ project.
I didn't know there was an official Makefile now, very very cool.

Yes it would work perfectly with this Makefile, but the question is how to make it available to the ebuild. I think the best solution is to add it to the files/ subdirectory of the ebuild directory, and copy it in the right place at the end of the unpack step.
phirox, what do you think about it ?
The ebuild already gets the whole trunk, including the uppbox directory which contains the above Makefile. Check the new ebuild to see how I did it.
I also renamed the ebuild to upp-svn, because personally I find it useful to have both a stable and development version installed at the same time. Conflicts are resolved by using 'theide-svn' and '/usr/share/upp-svn'.
