Not exactly..

1) yes I'm patching (prefix) portage for OpenSolaris.. I say OpenSolaris 
because while I'm doing best effort to make it as portable as possible, 
but can't test and don't much care about prior versions w/o source.

2) OpenSolaris comes with most GNU tools by default (except sed/find) , 
but appends a g to the front
File: `/usr/gnu/bin/sed' -> `../../bin/gsed'

I'd happily not bring this issue and bother anyone, but on every sync 
that eclass is going to get overwritten and the change is pretty minimal.

In regards to the ebuilds I will manage an overlay containing mostly 
repackaged sources from upstream.  The end goal being able to repackage 
the entire OpenSolaris distribution built with portage from source.

Thanks for the minute
