I hit the same problem this week-end while doing an ebuild for babeld.

And I was suspecting Julius being responsible for no sample babeld.conf...

A well documented babeld.conf is more than welcomed, even if all the

"In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software
patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy.
Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of
software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent
court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their
favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or
democratically elected legislators."
