Hi,

currently, i think, portage merges all apps to /usr. whouldn't it be 
possible to customize the prefix ? e.g. in large networks where /usr is 
mounted through the network emerge whould need to emerge to /usr/local 
to install a program locally. something like PORTAGE_PREFIX="/usr/local" 
emerge foo would be nice. Perhaps PORTAGE_PREFIX="/usr" emerge kde would 
get rid of /usr/kde :-) Ebuilds whould have to be changed, but this 
should be possible after a new version for every ebuild is out.
