6 It takes a x86 stage3 (which you have to download before) and a portage
7 snapshot if you want it to, does all the necessary work to properly set
8 up the 32bit chroot, compiles the packages you told it to, clears up
9 everything, checks links for being correct and then packs everything
10 into a tarball. So you end up with a tarball that looks almost exactly
11 like the ones we use for app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-*.
