Sam James 06878234c9 sys-devel/crossdev: add pkg_postinst message about 'crossdev' repository ...

I think the following scenario is plausible:
1) have no repos except gentoo, or maybe other repos that are synced and marked volatile
   (as is the default if owned by portage). no repo called 'crossdev';
2) run crossdev;
3) it puts stuff into one of those repos;
4) on sync, portage then wipes any local changes.

i.e. if a 'crossdev' repo exists it'll use it, but if not, and you don't pass a
flag, it will use any local one, and such a repo may get wiped later on sync.

Warn the user to create a 'crossdev' repository in pkg_postinst on new
installs.
