I noticed that my /var/lib/portage/config file is not getting
populated with new entries anymore, although it did get created by
some program. Very strange...

It looks like the numbers I get when running "md5sum <filename>", at
least for files that I have not modified or deleted. "man portage"
mentions files that portage uses, but not /var/lib/portage/config. It is
either because the file is not meant to be edited by the administrator
or a documentation bug.
