so, chris pebenito and I had thrown together a baselayout lite package
the other day.  I put some files of mine I had lying around, and
modified a few lines of the ebuild.. and here it is!

comment/suggestions/flames/patches welcome

the passwd and group files only have one user, root 
and the passwd file is from tinylogin with the root password being
"carriage-return" on prompt

anyway... check it out.
