Ok, I've done what 'looked' right in svn, but I haven't touched  
binutils-config yet.

Ok, its ready for testing now. A few notes:
	

	• the --with-rootuid option to configure has been removed, just use  
--with-rootuser
	• If you have an existing prefix install, you will have to upgrade  
portage manually from the tarball[1]. See the wiki[2] for quick  
pseudo-instructions.
	• If you have the hack in bashrc to append PREFIX to ROOT, take it  
out. ROOT should behave correctly now.
	• The portage ebuild will respect the following envvars:
		--with-user=${PORTAGE_USER:-portage} \
         	--with-group=${PORTAGE_GROUP:-portage} \
         	--with-rootuser=${PORTAGE_INST_USER:-root} \
        	 	--with-wheelgid=${PORTAGE_INST_GID:-0} \
         	--with-offset-prefix=${EPREFIX}
	• ${EDEST} is the package build image dir, without the appended prefix
	• ${EPREFIX} is the 'offset-prefix' i.e. /opt/gentoo, /Library/Gentoo
	• ${ROOT} in ebuilds should handle ${EPREFIX} transparently
	• The current portage snapshot is using the experimental Manifest2  
format.

That was enough for me. For all further breakage, consult Fabian :p
