I know when I do an emerge world it looks at /var/lib/portage/world
for the list of packages.
I went looking for a 'system' list for the emerge system command & did
not find it.
I also looked in make.profile and didn't find anything likely.
I also googled my query but got too many spurious matches.
I'm sure there is a simple answer.

I want to write a script that reads the system list, finds the
binpkg's, and copies the latest to backup.
I can do this easy for the world list.
