I just discussed this with haubi, and I changed things here a little. Here's what we think about it, please comment on this:

*) the winnt stuff is just "output" of the interix prefix, so in reality it is _not_ a prefix.
*) thus the winnt "prefix" uses the same tree as the parent interix prefix.
*) the procedure for setting up a winnt prefix is now (example from my machine):

 $ cd /opt
 $ mkdir -p gentoo.winnt/etc
 $ cd gentoo.winnt/etc
 $ ln -s /opt/gentoo.system/usr/portage/prof[...]/winnt/6.0/x86 make.profile
 $ cd ..
 $ mkdir -p var/log

That's it, now emerge can be used:

 $ CBUILD=i586-pc-winnt PREFIX=/opt/gentoo.winnt emerge -v parity

What I would really like in the end is something like this (just some fictious script names...):

 $ winprefix create /opt/gentoo.winnt
 $ eselect winprefix 1 (or with path?)
 $ winmerge -av parity

And so on....

Any thoughts?

Cheers, Markus
