23 Thanks for the clarification. I think that portage itself should be as
24 location independent as possible ( one fixed location will be necessary to
25 tell portage where to find the rest, but this location could be specified
26 optionally by an environment variable). Allthough I'm not responsible for
27 portage I encourage you to submit any patches to the extend of making portage
28 even more location independent.
